• Mixotrophy in Chlorella sorokiniana : physiology, biotechnological potential and ecotoxicology 

      Marchello, Adriano Evandir (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, Câmpus São Carlos, 09/06/2017)
      In aquatic environments, phytoplankton consists mostly of photosynthetic microorganisms that serve as the basis of food chains. However, besides photoautotrophy, it is widely reported in the literature that many microalgae ...
    • Physiological and biochemical responses of Scenedesmus quadricauda exposed to copper ions 

      Silva, Jaqueline Carmo da (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, Câmpus São Carlos, 09/03/2018)
      Copper is an important metal for industry, and its threshold in natural ecosystems has increased since the industrial revolution. As a micronutrient, it is required in minute amounts (~10-8 molL-1 Cu2+ ions), but can be ...
    • Desenvolvimento de procedimentos metodológicos na prospecção de microalgas propícias para a produção de biodiesel 

      Pepino, Rodrigo Fernando (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, , 26/08/2011)
      The chemical compounds called triacylglycerides (TAGs) have been the main source for biodiesel. The isolation of high lipid yield microalgae is important for the success of algae biomass production for biodiesel and, ...
    • A influência do fósforo na toxicidade de cobre e composição bioquímica de Chlorella vulgaris 

      Souza, Imyra Maíra Martins de (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, , 02/09/2011)
      Metal toxicity to microalgae is dependent on environmental conditions, evolutionary history of the microalgae, and previous exposure of the organism to the specific metal. Also, it is importantly influenced by the physiological ...
