Various microalgal species accumulate important biofuel precursors such as fatty acids and hydrocarbons.
Chlorella is microalgae belonging to the order of the Chlorococcales. It contains high concentration of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Thus, chlorella is considered a superfood.
Microalgae with high amount of lipid content, ranging from 20-75%, belong to Botryococcus braunii, Chlorella, Schizochytium, Scenedesmus etc. These microalgae can be used as feedstock for biofuels.
Cultivation of microalgae in wastewater could significantly contribute to wastewater treatment, biodiesel production, and thus the transition to renewable energy.
Chlorella is a green microalgae containing various bioactive compounds and macronutrients such as lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. It also considered a superfood.
Desmodesmus is a green microalgal genus that is frequently found in aquatic environments. Its high biomass productivity and potential as a source of lipids
Microalgal cells are sunlight-driven cell factories that can convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into raw materials for producing biofuels such as biodiesel biohydrogen and biogas.
Microalgae have been recognized as a promising alternative source for oil production. Several species of microalgae can be induced to overproduce specific lipids and fatty acids.
