By Yob Ihadjadene Microalgae are becoming increasingly important in the bioeconomy and biotechnology sector as an attractive, sustainable source of value-added products. Thus, to develop feasible algae-based bioprocesses, it is crucial to study their intrinsic characteristics, such as their physiology, metabolism and their response to factors influencing their growth. However, the design and optimization of

By Marco Sandrin Model-based design of experiments for model discrimination (MBDoE-MD) is a powerful tool that can greatly accelerate the development of first-principles mathematical models. After a preliminary collection of experimental data, multiple model structures are typically proposed to describe the system under investigation and its underlying phenomena. By leveraging the model equations and values

By Giovanni Consoli Phycobilisomes are a structurally and functionally diverse family of light harvesting complexes, that binds open-chain tetrapyrroles known as bilins with the aim of absorbing photons and funneling excitation energy to photosystems, mainly photosystem II in cyanobacteria. The extreme variability in size, arrangement and absorbance profile deeply reflects the evolutionary adaptation of this
