Biphasic lipid extraction from microalgae after PEF-treatment reduces the energy demand of the downstream process by Ioannis Papachristou, Natalja Nazarova, Rüdiger Wüstner, Robin Lina, Wolfgang Frey, Aude Silve

“…During Nile-Red staining of microalgae and microscopy imaging, a shift of emission from both GFP and RFP channels to mostly RFP was observed indicating an increase in the polarity of the environment of Nile-Red. These led to an adaption of a biphasic ethanol:hexane:water 1:6:0.4 vol/vol/vol solvent with 37 mL solvent per 1 g of dry biomass ratio which while ineffective on fresh biomass, achieved a 27% dry weight yield from incubated microalgae. …”
