A two-step strategy comprising heterotrophic cultivation and photo-chemical modulator induction was developed to enhance biomass and lipid accumulation in the oleaginous Monoraphidium sp. QLY-1, which was isolated from Qilu Lake in Yunnan Plateau. The algae were first cultivated heterotrophically to achieve high biomass concentration (5.54gL(-1)) with a lipid content of 22.47%. The cultivated algae were diluted, transferred to light environment, and treated with different chemical elicitors. Results showed that the lipid content increased to 36.68% after 3-day of photoinduction. The lipid content was further enhanced by 1.21, 1.32, and 1.29 folds in algal cells treated with nitrogen deficiency, 20gL(-1) NaCl, and 5mM glycine betaine, respectively. The maximum lipid content (48.54%) and lipid productivity (121.27mgL(-1)d(-1)) were obtained in treatments with 20gL(-1) NaCl and 5mM GB, respectively. This study proposes a strategy to efficiently produce lipids by using microalgae.

Drought stress affects plant growth and production. To cope with drought stress, plants induced physiological and metabolic changes, serving as a protective approach under drought-stress conditions. The response to drought can vary based on plant type (C3 vs.

Elevated expense of chemical media spurs a shift to non-chemical media in microalgal cultivation, while ensuring the safety of the resulting powder poses a challenge. No previous studies have evaluated the safety and application of Spirulina subsalsa powder cultivated in monosodium glutamate wastewater (MSGW) and seawater. In this study, an analysis of basic nutritional components in Spirulina subsalsa powder indicated that this algal powder had high protein content, low lipid content and rich mineral content.

Myelin is a lipid-rich substance that is crucial for neural function. Neonatal anesthesia has been linked to neurological impairments associated with myelination dysfunction. This study sought to evaluate whether disrupted fatty acid homeostasis is involved in the mechanism of sevoflurane developmental neurotoxicity.

In Brief: Advanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly those associated with placental dysfunction. This study showed that in a mouse model of AMA, male but not female fetuses had increased placental apoptosis and lipid peroxidation, as well as increased mitochondrial content, suggesting that the placentas of male fetuses in AMA mothers adapt to be able to deliver sufficient energy to the fetus.
Abstract: Although advanced maternal age (AMA) increases the risk of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and stillbirth, the mechanisms leading to the placental dysfunction observed in AMA are unknown.
