Blue-green light is required for a maximized fatty acid unsaturation and pigment concentration in the microalga Acutodesmus obliquus
Mark Helamieh, Marco Reich, Sophie Bory, Philipp Rohne, Ulf Riebesell, Martin Kerner, Klaus Kümmerer Abstract Blue-green light is known to maximize the degree of fatty acid (FA) unsaturation in microalgae. However, knowledge on the particular waveband responsible for...Potential of far ultraviolet (UV) 222 nm light for management of strawberry fungal pathogens
Wojciech Janisiewicz, Fumiomi Takeda, Breyn Evans, Mary Camp Abstract Recently developed, night-time irradiation provided the breakthrough that made ultraviolet (UV) technology with 254 nm (UV–C) commercially feasible as a sustainable alternative to synthetic...Can the Addition of Odor and Visual Targets Enhance Attraction of the Asian Citrus Psyllid (Hemiptera: Liviidae) to Sticky Traps?
Journal of Economic Entomology – Arjun Khadka, Sandra A Allan, Daniel Cho, Emma N I Weeks Abstract Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, negatively impacts the citrus industry as it transmits Candidatus Liberibacter spp., the causal agent of citrus...Monochromatic light filters to enhance biomass and carotenoid productivities of Dunaliella salina in raceway ponds
Emeka G. Nwoba, Tarannom Rohani, Mohammadjavad Raeisossadati, Ashiwin Vadiveloo, Parisa A.Bahri, Navid R.Moheimani Abstract Monochromatic blue and red wavelengths are more efficient for light to algal biomass conversion than full-spectrum sunlight. In this study,...Indoor Lighting Releases Gas Phase Nitrogen Oxides from Indoor Painted Surfaces
Heather Schwartz-Narbonne, Stephanie H. Jones, and D. James Donaldson Abstract The indoor environment provides unique surfaces and lighting conditions which affect the photochemistry taking place there. As indoor illumination sources typically output wavelengths too...Introducing our new Applied Spectroscopy Division
