• Flashing light does not improve photosynthetic performance and growth of green microalgae 

      Schulze, Peter Simon Claus; Brindley, Celeste; Fernández, José M.; Rautenberger, Ralf; Pereira, Hugo; Wijffels, Rene Hubertus; Kiron, Viswanath (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Light attenuation in photobioreactors is a major bottleneck in microalgal production. A possible strategy for artificial light-based microalgal production to deliver light deep inside the culture is through the periodical ...
    • High-value compound induction by flashing light in Diacronema lutheri and Tetraselmis striata CTP4 

      Schüler, Lisa M.; Walter, Juline; Kato, Hidehiko; Suzuki, Hirono; Hulatt, Christopher Jonathan; Rautenberger, Ralf; Navalho, Sofia; Schmid, Benjamin; Varela, Joao; Viswanath, Kiron; Schulze, Peter Simon Claus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Phototrophic microalgae use light to produce biomass and high-value compounds, such as pigments and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), for food and feed. These biomolecules can be induced by flashing light during the final ...
