Euglena gracilis cell mass has been shown to be a suitable source for the production of biogas by anaerobic digestion, producing around 650 or 800 mL biogas/g DW under PT or HT cultivation conditions, respectively (Grimm et al., 2015). Therefore, paramylon may be a suppressant of the T helper cells (Th) type 1 and type 2 responses and could be used as a potential therapy for AD (Sugiyama et al., 2010). doi: 10.1111/bcp.13496. Therefore, E. gracilis cell mass can be considered an excellent vitamin A supplement and could improve a vitamin A-poor diet. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0195329, Watanabe, T., Shimada, R., Matsuyama, A., Yuasa, M., Sawamura, H., Yoshida, E., et al.

Metallomics 6, 604616. Euglena gracilis is a promising alternative supplement because it's a source of dietary protein, pro vitamins, lipids and the -1,3-glucan paramylon, in fact, studies have demonstrated that microalgae biomass can be a potential substitute for soybean and fish meal (Aemiro et al. Food Funct. Andrologia 50:e13088. Phycol. Only recently, it has been shown that microwave pretreatment of the granules can be used to enhance the activity of paramylon-degrading enzymes, yielding soluble immunostimulating hydrolysis products (Gissibl et al., 2018).

(2001). The in vitro synthesis of soluble -1,3-glucans could be an alternative to the hydrolysis approach. One such candidate source is the fast-proliferating microalga Euglena gracilis.The commercial cultivation of E. gracilis began in 2007, after the success of its outdoor mass cultivation and improvement of the harvesting and drying methods suitable for Euglena cells. Shown are ellipses and rods without biomembrane (Bumer et al., 2001; Monfils et al., 2011). MySQL. Technol. It has already been used on a commercial scale for ingredients in foods and cosmetics and has undergone research in other fields too. Yet, the influence of light was shown to be independent of the presence of chlorophyll, suggesting that mitochondria may be primarily responsible for the regulation of -tocopherol synthesis (Kusmic et al., 1998; Ogbonna et al., 1998; Fujita et al., 2008; Hasan et al., 2017).

PT cultivation produces ~20-fold less biomass (between 2 and 3 g DW/L culture) compared to HT and MT cultivation (Table 1) (Grimm et al., 2015; Hasan et al., 2017). 22, 327333. However, DW titres of E. gracilis under PT conditions are significantly lower than those obtained with MT/HT growth (Table 1) (Takeyama et al., 1997; Hasan et al., 2017). Euglena is an unusual organism that can both make its own food and eat what it finds in the water. doi: 10.1042/bj20091406, Jeng, W.Y., Wang, N.C., Lin, M.H., Lin, C.T., Liaw, Y.C., Chang, W.J., et al. Relative metal toxicities were evaluated based on the Effective Exposure causing 50% growth reduction (= EE50). doi: 10.1006/abbi.1993.1383, Koch, M., Lemke, R., Heise, K.-P., and Mock, H.-P. (2003). Open ponds are low-tech solutions and potentially cheaper when compared to technically more demanding open systems like raceway tanks, which in turn promise higher yields (Apel and Weuster-Botz, 2015). Algae acquire vitamin B12 through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria. For example, knock-down of the starch degradation kinases 1 and 2 using RNAi was shown to lead to a 1.2 and 1.4-fold increase in WE accumulation, respectively, under anaerobic growth conditions (Kimura and Ishikawa, 2018).

The promising future of microalgae: current status, challenges, and optimization of a sustainable and renewable industry for biofuels, feed, and other products. Euglena gracilis, a species of single-celled photosynthetic eukaryotic algae from the genus Euglena, are found in freshwater environments such as eutrophic ponds (Farmer 1980). doi: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2015.04.004, Grosso, G., Bei, R., Mistretta, A., Marventano, S., Calabrese, G., Masuelli, L., et al. PLoS ONE 8, 16. Another indicator that paramylon has regulatory effects on the cells was a study on a collagen-induced arthritis mouse model (for rheumatoid arthritis), where 2% (w/w) paramylon in the diet relieved arthritis symptoms and decreased cytokine (IFN-, IL-6, and IL-17) levels, so the authors concluded a possible involvement of Th type 17 cells (Suzuki et al., 2018). It is a rich source of dietary protein, lipids -1,3-glucan, and -carotene. Biophys. 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). doi: 10.1038/srep26327, Yamamoto, F.Y., Sutili, F.J., Hume, M., and Gatlin, D.M. doi: 10.1016/j.micres.2017.11.013, Niki, E., and Traber, M.G. In principle, enzymatic hydrolysis and conversion processes could be applied to paramylon. Microbiol. 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).

The methylerythritol phosphate pathway contributes to carotenoid but not phytol biosynthesis in Euglena gracilis. Levine, R.B., LeBrun, J.R., and Horst, G.P. There is a growing interest in the commercial exploitation of E. gracilis based on the organism's versatility, resilience and capability to synthesise a broad and unique range of bioproducts (Suzuki, 2017). Therefore, it has been widely applied in many fields, such as in food, supplements, and cosmetics (Gong et al. (2013). 79, 371378. Importantly, animal and in vitro studies have shown an excellent digestibility of protein derived from E. gracilis biomass (Hosotani and Kitaoka, 1977). Suzuki, K., Nakashima, A., Igarashi, M., Saito, K., Konno, M., Yamazaki, N., et al. Cultivation under strict HT conditions leads to increased paramylon levels during the exponential growth phase, while light has been shown to be detrimental to the accumulation and conservation of paramylon under MT growth, probably because the metabolic switch to paramylon degradation is under the influence of a photoreceptor (Kiss et al., 1986; Barsanti et al., 2001). doi: 10.1016/0005-2760(92)90311-I, Shigeoka, S., Nakano, Y., and Kitaoka, S.

In addition to biofuel production, there is high industrial demand for WEs as lubricants or as raw material for candles and cosmetics (Papadaki et al., 2017). 109, 21602172. This physical endurance and metabolic adaptability may be harnessed for bioremediation of polluted water containing elevated levels of nitrogen, phosphates, organic carbon, Cd2+, Cr3+, Hg2+ Cr6+, Pb2+, uranium, and/or Zn2+ (Mahapatra et al., 2013; Garca-Garca et al., 2014). A number of E. gracilis genes have been expressed heterologously in other organisms such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in insect cells for the purpose of their molecular characterisation, or the modification of biosynthetic pathways for the production of compounds of interest (Meyer et al., 2003; Qi et al., 2004; Ntefidou et al., 2006; Takeda et al., 2015). In addition, two research articles [4,5] investigated Euglena gracilis, a photosynthetic flagellate, which had been studied earlier on board of the American Space Shuttle Columbia [6]. J. Euglena gracilis is rich in nutrients and high-value metabolites. Microalgal biomass is considered a third-generation biofuel feedstock, not only because of its potentially high lipid content, but also because of the high amounts of complex carbohydrates (e.g., cellulose) that can be produced by many algal species (Lee and Lavoie, 2013).
