  • FLOATING SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING MICROALGAE IN THE FORM OF BIOFILM
    Publication number: 20230101427
    Abstract: A system for producing microalgae in the form of biofilm, including a frame, a motor, at least one support and a web designed to receive the biofilm and in which the frame is configured to support the motor, the motor is configured to impart a rotational movement on at least one support, the at least one support is configured to have a rotational movement about an axis of rotation and to support and impart the rotational movement on the web, and the web is configured to at least partially surround the at least one support, wherein that the support is configured to have a non-negative buoyancy in a liquid.

  • Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1-like gene () and uses thereof
    Patent number: 9410132
    Abstract: An isolated protein which is at least partially encoded by a polynucleotide sequence encoding a novel acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1-like gene (PtDGAT1) from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricomutum is provided together with a composition which includes the isolated protein and a transgenic organism transformed by a polynucleotide encoding same. The invention also provides a method for producing or enhancing the production of oil or triacylglycerols with high saturated fatty acids content.
