Madalena Mendes,Sofia Navalho,Alice Ferreira,Cristina Paulino,Daniel R. Figueiredo,Daniel Silva,Fengzheng Gao,Florinda Gama,Gabriel Bombo,Rita Jacinto,Susana S. Aveiro,Peter C. Schulze,A. T. Goncalves,Hugo Pereira,Luísa Gouveia,Rita F. Patarra,Maria H. Abreu,Joana Silva,João Navalho,Joao Varela,Lais Galileu Speranza +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reviewed the historical consumption of algae in Europe, developments in the current European market, challenges when introducing new species to the market, bottlenecks in production technology, consumer acceptance, and legislation.
Random Mutagenesis as a Promising Tool for Microalgal Strain Improvement towards Industrial Production
M.Cristina N. Trovão,Lisa Schüler,Adriana Machado,Gabriel Bombo,Sofia Navalho,Ana P. Barros,Hugo Pereira,Joana Silva,Filomena Freitas,Joao Varela +9 more
TL;DR: Different microalgal strain improvement approaches and their applications are reviewed, with a primary focus on random mutagenesis and the combination of these approaches with high-throughput technologies as tools to select the most promising mutants.
