• Flashing light emitting diodes (LEDs) induce proteins, polyunsaturated fatty acids and pigments in three microalgae 

      Lima, Serena; Schulze, Peter Simon Claus; Schüler, Lisa M.; Rautenberger, Ralf; Morales-Sanchez, Daniela; Santos, Tamára F.; Pereira, Hugo; Varela, João C.S.; Scargiali, Francesca; Wijffels, Rene Hubertus; Kiron, Viswanath (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11-25)
      As the periodic emission of light pulses by light emitting diodes (LEDs) is known to stimulate growth or induce high value biocompounds in microalgae, this flashing light regime was tested on growth and biochemical composition ...
    • High-value compound induction by flashing light in Diacronema lutheri and Tetraselmis striata CTP4 

      Schüler, Lisa M.; Walter, Juline; Kato, Hidehiko; Suzuki, Hirono; Hulatt, Christopher Jonathan; Rautenberger, Ralf; Navalho, Sofia; Schmid, Benjamin; Varela, Joao; Viswanath, Kiron; Schulze, Peter Simon Claus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-07-19)
      Phototrophic microalgae use light to produce biomass and high-value compounds, such as pigments and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), for food and feed. These biomolecules can be induced by flashing light during the final ...
    • Improving fermentation of Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta silages with additives for preserving biomass and antioxidants 

      Yen, Ying; Weisbjerg, Martin Riis; Rautenberger, Ralf; Fečkaninová, Adriána; Novoa-Garrido, Margarita (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10-27)
      Rapid deterioration of harvested macroalgal biomass is a challenge for macroalgal industry and can be overcome with the inexpensive ensiling preservation. To improve silage quality, Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta ...
    • Priming of marine macrophytes for enhanced restoration success and food security in future oceans 

      Jüterbock, Alexander; Minne, Antoine J.P.; Cock, J. Mark; Coleman, Melinda Ann; Wernberg, Thomas; Scheschonk, Lydia; Rautenberger, Ralf; Zhang, Jie; Hu, Zi-Min (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03-23)
      Marine macrophytes, including seagrasses and macroalgae, form the basis of diverse and productive coastal ecosystems that deliver important ecosystem services. Moreover, western countries increasingly recognize macroalgae, ...
    • Rapid and accurate determination of protein content in North Atlantic seaweed by NIR and FTIR spectroscopies 

      Niemi, Calle; Mols Mortensen, Agnes; Rautenberger, Ralf; Matsson, Sanna; Gorzsás, András; Gentili, Francesco G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-10-21)
      Seaweed is considered a potentially sustainable source of protein for human consumption, and rapid, accurate methods for determining seaweed protein contents are needed. Seaweeds contain substances which interfere with ...
