This study compares the growth of Arthrospira platensis in three Jeju island mediums, finding JMS supports higher growth but at a significantly higher cost.

This study explores using acetate from cheese whey fermentation to support microalgal growth in mixotrophic conditions, showing acetate's effectiveness as a carbon source and the benefits of coupling fermentation with microalgae cultivation.

This paper compares 15 solvents for in situ extraction of hydrocarbons from Botryococcus braunii, finding that bio-based terpenes recover more hydrocarbons than alkanes, but all tested solvents were toxic to the algae.

This study performs a meta-analysis of RNA-seq data to identify stress-responsive pathways in Dunaliella tertiolecta under abiotic stress conditions.

The paper performs transcriptome sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes in an astaxanthin hyper-producing mutant of Coelastrum sp. compared to the wild-type, revealing upregulation of biosynthesis genes and downregulation of a cyclase gene.

The paper uses multimodal imaging and multi-omics techniques to study O. tauri's cellular responses to nitrogen and carbon ratio changes, revealing shifts in lipid and starch metabolism.
