The microalga Porphyridium cruentum is known to produce many components of interest. One of them is B-Phycoerythrin (B-PE), a water-soluble intracellular pigment used as an immunofluorescent probe. Current methods to extract this molecule involve total cell disruption and lead to a mix of all the water-soluble components. Subsequently, the pigment...
Cross-flow microfiltration and ultrafiltration techniques have become a suitable process for the separation of micro-organisms in a variety of biotechnical applications. In this paper, eight commercial membranes (IRIS, Orelis, Miribel, France) were evaluated for the harvest-ing of two marine microalgae: Haslea ostrearia and Skeletonema costatum, bo...
A widely used technique for cell harvesting is crossflow microfiltration. The relative fragility of microalgae requires choosing a suitable pumping system. Tetraselmis suecica, which is a very mobile alga, is an interesting model for this study. The extent of damage observed in various pumps was measured as a function of the number of passes of the...
This work aims at studying the techno-economic feasibility to produce an extract, at a small industrial-production scale, from a Tisochrysis lutea’s paste, in view of cosmetic applications. The paste was first thawed, diluted and centrifuged to get a crude water extract. Then, two successive stages of membrane filtration were carried out: the first...
The benthic diatom Haslea ostrearia which has the capacity to excrete a blue pigment called marennine remains a challenging organism to culture in a photobioreactor (PBR). This study investigates the interest of culture in conventional mixed PBR over immobilized-cell protocols which proved successful but have rather low extracellular marennine (EMn...
The red microalga Porphyridium cruentum is exploited industrially for its exopolysaccharides (EPS) and pigments production. EPS produced by P. cruentum are partially released and dissolved into the surrounding environment, they can be recovered from the culture medium after removing the cells. This paper presents a parametric study of the ultrafilt...

For biodiesel applications, microalgae and especially Nannochloropsis sp. are considered as a promising feedstock for lipid production. Main issues are high lipid productivity, but also robust and energy efficient downstream processes. In the biorefinery process, cellular mechanical pretreatment and solvent extraction are investigated nowadays to a...
use or membrane process for isolating biofunctional exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced from microalgae and cyanobacteria
Recognition of limited resources and increasing environmental pollution has emphasized the need for better utilization of fisheries by-products (e.g., heads, frames, and viscera). The present investigation explores the technical feasibility of “clean technologies”, that is, enzymatic hydrolysis and ultrafiltration to fractionate and concentrate Sep...

Short term ultrafiltration ex...
Because photosynthetic growth implies an inorganic carbon uptake, photosynthetic microorganisms like microalgae or cyanobacteria can be used to fix CO2 from industrial effluents in a sustainable way. In our work, we investigated the specific case of CO2 issued from a cement plant located in France (Ciment Calcia) for the production of microalgae in...
A study of cell disruption by bead milling for two microalgae, Nannochloropsis oculata and Porphyridium cruentum, was performed. Strains robustness was quantified by high-pressure disruption assays. The hydrodynamics in the bead mill grinding chamber was studied by Residence Time Distribution modeling. Operating parameters effects were analyzed and...

Abstract (chapter 3):
This study fostered partnership between scientists, shellfish growers, water treatment engineers, economists and regulators. The objective was to optimise land-based post-harvest treatments in such a way that oyster and mussel marketing could continue during toxic blooms of Dinophysis acuminata (DSP) and Alexandrium minutum (P...
The freshwater microalga Chlorella vulgaris was harvested by autoflocculation resulting from the precipitation of magnesium or calcium compounds induced by a slow increase in pH in the absence of CO2 input. Autoflocculation was tested in two culture media with, respectively, ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-) ions as nitrogen source. The culture pH...
In diatoms, the main photosynthetic pigments are chlorophylls a and c, fucoxanthin,
diadinoxanthin and diatoxanthin. The marine pennate diatom Haslea ostrearia has long
been known for producing, in addition to these generic pigments, a water-soluble blue
pigment, marennine. This pigment, responsible for the greening of oysters in western
France, pr...

can be recovered, thereby significantly lowering treatment cost and offering a commercial gain for the
food industry.
The use of membrane process...

Phycoerythrin is a major light-harvesting pigment of red algae, which could be used as a natural dye in foods. The stability of R-phycoerythrin of Grateloupia turuturu and B-phycoerythrin of Porphyridium cruentum in relation to different light exposure times, pHs, and temperatures was studied. Regarding the light exposure time, after 48 h, the redu...
The role of natural compounds of seawater and added particles on mechanisms of membrane fouling and organic matter rejection has been investigated. Ultrafiltration (100 kDa) has been conducted in both dead-end (out/in) and tangential (in/out) modes on polysulfone hollow fibre membranes. The permeate fluxes are approximately three times higher for t...
Reusing supernatant of microalgae culture medium can have inhibitory or toxic effects on the biomass production because of the release of organic metabolites by cells in the culture medium during their growth.

Low pressure microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) is used as seawater pretreatment before reverse osmosis membranes for capacity that ranged from 6,700 to 140,000 m per day at Colakoglu Steel Mill (Turkey), Yu-Han (China), Kindasa (Saudi Arabia), Fukuoka (Japan), and Ad Dur (Bahrain). Among all modes of porous membrane filtration, pressure...
When microalgae culture medium is recycled, ions (e.g. Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+)) that were not assimilated by the microalgae accumulate in the medium. Therefore, a growth medium (HAMGM) was developed that included ions that were more easily assimilated by Chlorella vulgaris, such as ammonium one (NH(4)(+)). Recycling performance was studied by carrying...
In this study, a sand filter was used to remove micro-algae from seawater feeding aquaculture ponds.

Introduction et objectifs du projet
La contamination des denrées d’origine marine par des toxines algales (phycotoxines) a pris depuis quelques années une importance considérable.

The chemical composition and its seasonal variation of the red seaweed Grateloupia turuturu, an invasive macroalgae from Brittany, France, were investigated. Size, ash, protein, lipid, dietary fibre (soluble, insoluble and total), protein pigment (R-phycoerythrin, R-phycocyanin), and fatty acid content were measured in G. turuturu samples collected...
The overall objective of the present work was to estimate by membrane autopsy the level of performances degradation of old reverse osmosis (RO) membranes/modules in order to envisage their reuse. A mechanistic approach using the Spiegler–Kedem–Katchalsky model helps us to observe that the old RO membrane acquired a convective mass transfer. We defi...
On-site greywater recycling is one of the main ways of preserving water resources in urban or arid areas. This study aims to formulate model synthetic greywater (SGW) in order to evaluate and compare the performances of several recycling processes on a reproducible effluent. The formulated SGW is composed of septic effluent to provide indicators of...
In a global context of marine biological resource overexploitation, a better upgrading of fish and shellfish biomass is a challenge for the 21 st century.
