Microalgae are considered a suitable production platform for high-value lipids and oleochemicals. Several species including Nannochloropsis oceanica produce large amounts of essential \(\omega\)-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) which are integral components of food and feed and have been...

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to find out the effect of bile acid supplemented diets with varying protein and lipid levels on growth performance, body composition, antioxidant status and physio-biochemical responses of genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) juveniles reared in inland...

Amongst the current alternatives, algae were proven to be a promising source of biofuel, which is renewable and capable of meeting world demand for transportation fuels. However, a suitable lipid extraction method that efficiently releases the lipids from different algal strains remains a...

Temperature is one of the most important environmental conditions affecting physiological processes in ectothermic organisms like ants. Yet, we often lack information on how certain physiological traits covary with temperature across time. Here, we test predictions on how one trait - lipid content...

Over the last decade, the development and prevalence of obesity have posed a serious public health risk, which has prompted studies on the regulation of adiposity. With the ease of genetic manipulation, the diversity of the methods for characterizing body fat levels, and the observability of...

Chemical and physical mutagens like sodium azide, H₂O₂ and UV light have a significant role in the metabolism of living organisms. Effect of these mutagens was recorded during the present work on lipid content of Oscillatoria sp. and Ulothrix sp. The algal species were subjected to the mutagens by...

Background: The associations of legacy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with lipid metabolism are controversial, and there is little information about the impact of emerging PFAS (6:2 Cl-PFESA) on lipid metabolism in China. Objectives: We aimed to explore the associations of legacy and...

Honey bee abdominal lipids decline with age, a change thought to be associated with the onset of foraging behavior. Stressors, such as pesticides, may accelerate this decline by mobilizing internal lipid to facilitate the stress response. Whether bees with stressor-induced accelerated lipid loss...

Monophosphoryl lipid A, derived from Salmonella minnesota R595, has been used in various adjuvant formulations. Escherichia coli can produce lipid A, but its structure is different. In this study, E. coli MG1655 has been engineered to efficiently produce the monophosphoryl lipid A. First, 126 genes ...

Food waste (FW) is a promising renewable low-cost biomass substrate for enhancing the economic feasibility of fermentative propionate production. Although lipids, a common component of food waste, can be used as a carbon source to enhance the production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) during...
