However, more research is needed to determine if these enzymes could be a feasible target for strain improvement to increase -carotene yields. Furthermore, substantial research has been performed to improve the WE yields specifically. A typical specimen of Euglena gracilis (Fig. Furthermore, it was shown in vitro and in a mouse model that straight-chain cationic 2-hydroxy-3-(trimethylammonio)propyl paramylon (HTAP) is capable of effectively sequestering bile salts, indicating an anti-diabetic effect, and the bodyweight of obese mice was reduced when the feed was supplemented with 2% (w/w) HTAP (Shibakami et al., 2018). Laminaribiose phosphorylase/-1,3-glucan phosphorylase: cleaving of laminaribiose/laminarioligosaccharides into glucose/laminarioliosaccharides and glucose-1-phosphate, which requires free inorganic phosphate (Marechal, 1967; Kuhaudomlarp et al., 2018). Food Chem. 7:108. doi: 10.3389/fbioe.2019.00108. Biochem. Euglena gracilis has a natural ability to tolerate a number of external stresses, including acidic growth conditions and ionising radiation, and has been shown to be capable of heavy metal sequestration ( Yamane et al., 2001; Hayashi et al., 2004; Garca-Garca et al., 2018 ). Euglena gracilis is a common primary producer in aquatic ecosystems where it produces a large biomass with beneficial metabolites that have a high commercial value. In Vivo 32, 799805. The lipid yield and the ratio of FAs/FAlcs to WEs have been shown to be strongly dependent on the cultivation conditions and the E. gracilis strain used (Tucci et al., 2010). 2011; Sanghvi and Martin 2010 ).

Biomass Bioenergy 112, 138143. Two examples are high-throughput optofluidic image cytometry, where lipid-overproducing mutants can be identified without the need for staining of the cells with potentially phenotype-altering dyes, and fluorescence imaging flow cytometry, which allows the normalisation of fluorescence values against the cell size to avoid false-negative results (i.e., mislabelling of small cells with relatively high fluorescence values) (Lei et al., 2016; Muoz et al., 2018). In the absence of complete genetic information, transcriptomic and proteomic studies have provided valuable insights into the complex metabolic pathways of E. gracilis and their regulation under different growth conditions (O'Neill et al., 2015b; Yoshida et al., 2016; Hasan et al., 2017). Nickel accumulation by the green algae-like Euglena gracilis. The flagellum they use for locomotion, which is slightly shorter than its body, beats by spinning at 40 Hz in close proximity to the cell body ().As for most flagellates, the swimming motion of E. gracilis is rototraslatory and inherently 3D. 10, 6774. 8, 118.

However, at present, most studies only extract the paramylon of E. gracilis, which is a waste of resources.In this study, a method of sequential extraction of lipid and paramylon from E. gracilis was studied, and the extraction conditions were optimized. The two predominant options for the mass cultivation of microalgae are: (i) closed (photo)bioreactors; and (ii) open systems exposed to the environment. The alga Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis) has recently gained attention as a health food, but its effects on human gut microbiota remain unknown. So far, the highest reported total -tocopherol titres of 44.2 mg/L culture or 1.1 mg/g DW were achieved with E. gracilis in HT fed-batch cultivation after 455 h in a medium containing ethanol as a carbon source (Ogbonna et al., 1998).

Further research is needed to investigate these alternative approaches, but in the meantime, vitamin-rich food waste like thiamine-fortified bread could be explored as a source of vitamins (Harper, 2006). Comparison of the production titres of various bioproducts between Euglena gracilis and other source organisms or respective concentrations in alternative products. It should be noted that ascorbate production by E. gracilis has not attracted much attention, probably because consumption of just 100 to 200 mL of juice from citrus fruits like oranges (Table 1) is enough to fulfil the daily recommended intake of adults (75 and 90 mg for females and males, respectively) (Grosso et al., 2013; US Department of Agriculture., 2018).

J. Med. In an RNAi experiment, the latter enzyme has been shown to be essential for the ascorbate-dependent growth of the organism. 37, 3846. (2010). Paramylon is uniquely produced by euglenoids, deposited as granules in the cytosol, and readily degraded and utilised as a carbon source under carbon starvation (Malkoff and Buetow, 1964; Kiss et al., 1986; Barsanti et al., 2001; Monfils et al., 2011). Immunol. 64, 415419. J. Eukaryot. Algal Res. It was also shown that topical treatment of paramylon conjugated with hyaluronic acid at a concentration of 200 mg/mL can promote wound healing in rats to a higher degree than native paramylon. , Wiseman, E.M., Bar-El Dadon, S., Nakano, Y., and Proteau,....
