TL;DR: A screening pipeline is designed, targeting a focused search and selection for marine microalgal strains from extreme North Atlantic locations with high robustness and biomass production, and increased levels of EPA and DHA.

TL;DR: Looking at the potential of the climate conditions in Bergen, western Norway for outdoor cultivation of P. tricornutum in flat panel photobioreactors and cultivated three different strains simultaneously revealed more significant differences between outdoor and laboratory-grown cultures than between the strains, and higher EPA contents in outdoor grown cultures.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the array of pheromones and antimicrobial substances could be part of an allelopathic strategy of the BMB strain, dominated by oval cells, thus reflecting the benthic life stage of this morphological form.

TL;DR: A mathematical model revealed that both growth phase and salinity, alone and in combination, influenced the EPA content significantly, and might be related to a decreased silica content, an accumulation of storage lipids containing EPA, or both.

TL;DR: In this paper , a feasibility study of microalgae (Phaeodactylum tricornutum) production in the aquaculture sector is presented, based on pilot-scale experimental results using tubular PBR in Norway.
