Resumen Systems and methods for cultivating or accumulating climate-focused marine target products are described herein.
The target product may be microalgae, macroalgae, plankton, marine bacteria or archaea, filter feeders (such as
oysters or clams), or crustaceans either for the purpose of bioremediation, eventual cultivation or for sequestering
carbon dioxide; or the target product may be direct chemical or biological accumulation of carbon or carbon
containing organisms. The system is primarily a floating apparatus designed to hold the target product in a region of
the water column and in a spatial region of the water where it will best accumulate target product mass. In some
embodiments the system is designed to achieve eventual passive sinking (transformation from a floating to sinking
apparatus) into the deep ocean. In some embodiments, the system is equipped with purpose-chosen sensors to
instrument and quantify the various biological and mechanical processes occurring onboard.
PLANT AND PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICROORGANISMS
Nº publicación WO2021224811A1 11/11/2021
Solicitantes DANIELI OFF MECC [IT]
Resumen The invention relates to a plant and process for producing photosynthetic microorganisms, particularly microalgae, in
a photobioreactor (14) using CO2 (42) and heat from waste from a siderurgical plant (102). The use of
low-temperature thermal waste, which cannot generally leverage for other uses, makes the system very economical.
The thermal waste transfers its heat through a heat exchanger (34) to the cultivation water. Carbon dioxide discarded
from metallurgical plants, and, in particular, steel plants, is transformed into valuable biomass, particularly microalgae.
Produced microalgae serve, for example, for nutrition, for the extraction of biomolecules of nutraceutical or
pharmaceutical interest and for biofuel production (114).

conditioning assembly is coupled as an input of supply water to
the bioreactor, and configured to condition the supply water to a
specified purity that enables substantially unhindered growth of
the microalgae in the culture solution to a specified
concentration, and the first controller is configured to control
supply of the microalgae feed source to the bioreactor.
INDUCIBLE CRGPDH3 PROMOTER OF CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTII AND THE USE THEREOF FOR THE
EXPRESSION OF RECOMBINANT PROTEINS
Nº publicación EP3901247A1 27/10/2021
Solicitantes CENTRO DE INVESTIG CIENTIFICA DE YUCATAN A C [MX]
Resumen The invention relates to an inducible nuclear promoter isolated
from the freshwater green microalgae Chlamydomonas
reinhardtii (CrGPDH3 promoter), which was originally used to
promote the expression of the CrGPDH3 gene which codes for
the enzyme glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The
invention comprises a core promoter, a region of inducibility
and chimeric promoters including said core promoter and the
region of inducibility. The advantages of the present invention
include the fact that it is a nuclear promoter, regulated by
inducers which are easy to obtain and to apply, with low toxicity and low cost, such as NaCl. This promoter represents
an alternative for the regulation of gene expression in photosynthetic organisms and it is useful for heterologous gene
expression for the purpose of basic research or for biotechnological purposes, such as the production of recombinant
proteins.

MICROALGAL STRAIN AND ITS USE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIPIDS
Nº publicación EP3891265A1 13/10/2021
Solicitantes ENI SPA [IT]
Resumen The present invention relates to a microalgal strain of the
species Nannochloropsis gaditana. More in particular, the
present invention relates to a microalgal strain of the species
Nannochloropsis gaditana, characterised by a mutation of an
enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll that changes
the physiology thereof with respect to the wild-type strain of the
same species. In particular, thanks to said mutation, microalgae
are formed which, with respect to the wild-type strain of the
same species, have a lower chlorophyll content and a reduced
capacity to absorb visible radiation (light). Further, the present
invention relates to a process for the production of lipids
through the cultivation of said mutated Nannochloropsis
gaditana strain. The lipids thus obtained can be used as
synthesis intermediates, particularly in the so-called
"green-chemistry" sector or in the production of biofuels.
