• Lipid content and fatty acid composition of Porosira glacialis and Attheya longicornis in response to carbon dioxide (CO2) aeration 

      Artamonova, Elena; Vasskog, Terje; Eilertsen, Hans Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-18)
      In the current study two novel psychrophilic diatoms Porosira glacialis and Attheya longicornis were tested for suitability to CO2 mitigation coupled with production of the physiologically requisite omega± 3 fatty acids. This study is in line with the worldwide conducted research aimed at applying biorefinery concept to heavy polluting industries. Since the production of algal high value compounds, ...
    • Mass cultivation of some common coldwater diatoms (Bacillariophyceae): lipids vs. growth conditions 

      Artamonova, Elena (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-02-27)
      The present study was aimed at investigating northern diatoms as sustainable sources of omega-3 fatty acids widely used and now much needed in salmon aquaculture as well as ingredients to be used in nutraceuticals in the human diet. As known, fish oil is currently the main source of physiologically requisite fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA). Due to the rapid ...
