}Chemical composition and quantitative cytological measurements were determined for the eustigmatophyte Nannochloropsis sp. Cultures were grown in turbidostats at three irradiance levels: growth‐limiting light, growth‐saturating light and photoinhibiting light. Cellular chlorophyll a content decreased as irradiance level increased, concomitant with a disproportionate reduction in carotenoid content. Nannochloropsis sp. grown in saturating light was characterized by a high content of lipid, fatty…

The polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio decreased when I. galbana was grown under high irradiance levels or under nitrogen-limiting conditions, and the relative distribution of the highly unsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid slightly increased under high light conditions and decreased under low nitrogen levels.
ALTERATIONS IN LIPID MOLECULAR SPECIES OF THE MARINE EUSTIGMA TOPHYTE NANNOCHLOROSIS SP. 1
- Biology

The growth rate in continuous cultures of Isochrysis aff.galbana clone T.iso is suggested to be controlled so as to adjust the relative proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids in lipid classes of the diet meant for larval nutrition.
Ecophysiological considerations in the optimization of eicosapentaenoic acid production by Nannochloropsis sp. (Eustigmatophyceae)
- Biology
- 1991
To maximize EPA production by Nannochloropsis, an optimal set of environmental conditions should be determined and the highest EPA productivity is expected in growth conditions that support maximal biomass production rate and slightly differ from the conditions that would yield biomass with maximal EPA content.

Changes in the fatty acid composition of symbiotic dinoflagellates from the hermatypic coral Echinopora lamellosa during adaptation to the irradiance level

- 2007
The composition of fatty acids of symbiotic dinoflagellates isolated from the hermatypic coral Echinoporal lamellosa adapted to the irradiance of 95, 30, 8, and 2% PAR was studied and it was supposed that light-induced changes in the FA composition reflect the interrelation between photosynthesis and FA biosynthesis.
