• 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 ...
