Renewable energy sources eg biofuels, are the focus of this century. Economically and
environmental friendly production of such energies are the challenges that limit their usages …

The aim of this review is to provide insights into the upstream processing of microalgae, and
to highlight the advantages of each step. This review discusses the most important steps of …

Biofuel derived from microalgae has developed as an environmentally benign alternative to
conventional fossil fuels. Mass production of this biofuel remains difficult due to several of …

Microalgae have promising potential to produce lipids and a variety of high-value chemicals.
Suitable stress conditions such as nitrogen starvation and high salinity could stimulate …

Microalgal lipids are highly promising feedstocks for biofuel production. Microalgal lipids,
especially triacylglycerol, and practical applications of these compounds have received …

Microalgae-derived lipids are an alternative to vegetable and fossil oils, but lipid content and
quality vary among microalgae strains. Selection of a suitable strain for lipid production is …

The prospect of sustainable production of food ingredients from photoautotrophic
microalgae was reviewed. Clearly, there is scope for microalgal oils to replace functions of …

There is increasing interest in naturally produced colorants, and microalgae represent a bio‐
technologically interesting source due to their wide range of colored pigments, including …

Although the potential for biofuel production from microalgae via photosynthesis has been
intensively investigated, information on the selection of a suitable operation strategy for …

Microalgae-derived lipids in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) are considered an alternative
resource for the production of biofuels and food commodities. Large scale production of …
