Biomolecule detection by amplified photoluminescence of germanium doped diatom biosilica

Creator:

Gale, Debra K.

Abstract:

There is significant interest in the fabrication of nano- and micro-structured silica with spatially ordered features, which exhibit enhanced optoelectronic properties with application to the next generation of display devices, semiconductors, and sensors. Currents methods of fabrication employ top down processes which use extremes of temperature, pressure, and power. There...

Two-stage photobioreactor cultivation for enhancing lipid production from diatom cells by controlled silicon limitation

Creator:

Rosenberger, Jennifer L.

Abstract:

There is significant interest in utilizing microalgae as a source for biofuels. Diatoms are a class of single-celled microalgae which make silica cell walls and require dissolved silicon as a substrate for cell division. Manipulation of soluble silicon delivery to the culture offers a route to control cell cycle and...
