Article Abstract
The environmental and culture conditions of a potential microalgae Euglena sanguinea were optimized for maximizing the biomass productivity. It was found that the organic macronutrient from poultry litter and organic micronutrient of seaweed extract are very effective to enhance the lipid production. Complementing, these organic nutrients with commercial NPK fertilizer, boost up the lipid productivity by 30.9% in comparison with the established standard Euglena medium. The fatty acid profile of the extracted oil by GC-MS reveals its conformity with commercial diesel.

Photosynthetic organisms have evolved diverse strategies to adapt to fluctuating light conditions, balancing efficient light capture with photoprotection. In green algae and land plants, this involves specialized light-harvesting complexes (LHCs), non-photochemical quenching, and state transitions driven by dynamic remodeling of antenna proteins associated with Photosystems (PS) I and II. Euglena gracilis, a flagellate with a secondary green plastid, represents a distantly related lineage whose light-harvesting regulation remains poorly understood.

Genomes of giant viruses (phylum ) have increasingly been found integrated into the genomes of diverse eukaryotes. Here, we report eight giant endogenous viral elements (GEVEs) in the genome of the microalgae . The GEVEs in bear signatures of genomic erosion, including invasion of transposable elements and duplications, suggesting that they are incapable of reactivation and virion production.

The microalgae Euglena holds promise for biofuel production due to its high lipid content. However, the lipid productivity of current species/strains for biofuel production remains suboptimal due to limitations in strain selection. Therefore, this study aims to isolate and identify novel Euglena species or strains with high biomass and lipid productivity to enhance biofuel production from a desirable environment.

Biomass-derived growth stimulants are widely recognized as green and economical solutions that can significantly enhance microalgae culture efficiency and optimize the biomanufacturing process of target products. In this paper, we investigated the effect of ethanol synergized with guaiacol (GA) on biomass and β-1,3 glucan accumulation in edible microalgae, namely . The ethanol-induced mixotrophic mode significantly increased biomass and paramylon production by 12.
