Unveiling <i>Tetraselmis subcordiformis</i> lipidome dynamics during large-scale cultivation in open raceway pond by Imen Saadaoui (14159025)

“…Results showed that triglycerides represented 57% of the total lipids on day 11 (exponential phase) and stayed consistently high until stationary phase, without affecting the biomass quantity. Moreover, a high expression of monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as ω-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5), docosahexaenoic acid (22:6), palmitic (16:0) and palmitoleic acid (16:1) was observed by stationary phase. …”

Investigating the Fluorescence Quenching of Doxorubicin in Folic Acid Solutions and Its Relation to Ligand-Targeted Nanocarriers by Husseini, Ghaleb

“…Using the Stern-Volmer equation, we estimate the association constant of FA-Dox to be Ksv = 1 5×104 M−1. Such an association constant indicates that at the concentrations of FA used in targeted drug delivery systems, a significant concentration of Dox exists as FA-Dox complexes with a quenched fluorescence. …”
