Biodiesel production from microalgae is a promising approach for energy production;
however, high cost of its process limits the use of microalgal biodiesel. Increasing the levels …

Lipids production of the marine microalga species Nannochloropsis oculata was deeply
investigated by studying under continuous light the effects of different nitrogen starvation …

Drastic climatic changes and health hazards, in the recent years, due to combustion of fossil
fuels has elicited the need to find sustainable and economical fuel alternatives. Hydrogen …

Unlike other more classical bioprocesses for heterotrophic growth (typically yeasts and
bacteria) where mixing tanks have standard geometries, microalgal culture has no single …

One of the greatest challenges of this century is to employ nature's resources to address the
world's energy, food, water and chemical requirements without further unsettling the …

The present paper investigates the optimal control of the photosynthetic growth process in
an artificial light photobioreactor operated in batch mode, the objective being to find an …

Sulfur deprivation creates anaerobic conditions and thereby induces hydrogen
photoproduction by the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In the present work we …

Sulfur limitation is a frequently exploited method for inducing lipid accumulation in
microalgae. However, there is little understanding of the underlying mechanism of this …

Biomass decay rate (BDR) in the dark was investigated for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(microalga) and Arthrospira platensis (cyanobacterium). A specific setup based on a torus …

The ability of unicellular green algal species such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to produce
hydrogen gas via iron‐hydrogenase is well known. However, the oxygen‐sensitive …
