Year: 2020, 2020
Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Kuhne, Alexandra Margaret, Thesis advisor (ths): Emery, Neil, Degree committee member (dgc): Balch, Gordon, Degree committee member (dgc): Gueguen, Celine, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>The rapid expansion of the worldwide population has caused an urgent need for the development of new, more environment-conscious, food sources. In this context, algae, such as Euglena, are of interest thanks to their capacity to naturally produce essential nutrients such as proteins and oils commonly found in animals and plant sources. While these processes are currently being… more

The Effect of Carbon Source and Phytohormones on the in vitro Growth of Euglena Gracilis

Name(s): Creator (cre): Trzaskalski, Natasha, Thesis advisor (ths): Emery, Neil, Degree committee member (dgc): Balch, Gordon, Degree committee member (dgc): Gueguen, Celine, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Microalgae are a promising source of valuable compounds relevant to biofuels, biomaterials, nutraceuticals as well as animal and human nutriment. Unfortunately, low cell density and slow growth result in reduced economic feasibility. Heterotrophic cell culturing using an organic carbon source in lieu of light has proven to be an effective alternative to photobioreactors; however, further… more
