Life cycle analysis (LCA) of algal biodiesel production process can provide a quantitative
measure for its sustainability. In this paper, the published LCA studies of algae biodiesel …

Thraustochytrids are unicellular heterotrophic marine protists of the Stramenopile group,
often considered as non-photosynthetic microalgae. They have been isolated from a wide …

Thraustochytrids were first discovered in 1934, and since the 1960's they have been
increasingly studied for their beneficial and deleterious effects. This review aims to provide …

Many studies have demonstrated that heterotrophic and mixotrophic growth for various
microalgae species yields greater biomass and lipid content as compared to …

Microalgae are considered promising feedstock for the production of biofuels and other
bioactive compounds, yet there are still challenges on commercial applications of …

Oleaginous microorganisms are among the most promising alternative sources of lipids for
oleochemicals and biofuels. However, in the course of lipid production, reactive oxygen …

Microalgae are a group of microorganisms considered to be a potential source of next-
generation biofuel owing to high photosynthetic rate. However, biofuel compounds including …

As fungus-like protists, thraustochytrids have been increasingly studied for their faster
