Starch and lipids are key components of algal cells and responsible for buffering variable
supplies of energy and carbon that are vital for cell growth and reproduction, particularly …

The worldwide growing demand for energy permanently increases the pressure on
industrial and scientific community to introduce new alternative biofuels on the global energy …

This review explains the potential use of the so-called “green coal” for biofuel production. A
comparison between microalgae and other crops is given, and their advantages are …

Climate change and rising atmospheric CO2 levels have become much debated
environmental issues in recent years. Point source emissions of CO2 from industrialised …

This review outlines the current status and recent developments in the technology of
microalgal culturing in enclosed photobioreactors. Light distribution and mixing are the …

Microalgal starch is a potential feedstock for biofuel production. The effects of KNO3 and
