RF Microalgal lipid content characterization
Most conventional techniques for the determination of microalgae lipid content are time consuming and in most cases are indirect and require excessive sample preparations. This work presents a new technique that utilizes radio frequency (RF) for rapid lipid quantification, without the need for sample preparation. Tests showed that a shift in the resonance frequency of a RF open-ended coaxial re...
متن کاملBiomass and Neutral Lipid Production in Geothermal Microalgal Consortia
Recently, technologies have been developed that offer the possibility of using algal biomass as feedstocks to energy producing systems - in addition to oil-derived fuels (Bird et al., 2011, 2012). Growing native mixed microalgal consortia for biomass in association with geothermal resources has the potential to mitigate negative impacts of seasonally low temperatures on biomass production syste...
متن کاملNanocellulose size regulates microalgal flocculation and lipid metabolism
Harvesting of microalgae is a cost-consuming step for biodiesel production. Cellulose has recently been studied as a biocompatible and inexpensive flocculant for harvesting microalgae via surface modifications such as cation-modifications. In this study, we demonstrated that cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) played a role as a microalgal flocculant via its network geometry without cation modification...
متن کاملEffect of Various Nitrogen Sources on Microalgal Growth and Lipid Content in Chlorella pyrenoidosa NCIM 2738 and ANK-1
The microalgae are unicellular photosynthetic organisms that use light energy and carbon dioxide, with higher photosynthetic efficiency than plants for the production of biomass (Benemann 1997, Miao, Wu, 2006). Microalgal lipids are regarded as the feedstock of future sustainable biodiesel production owing to much higher growth rates and photosynthetic efficiencies than conventional terrestrial...
متن کاملA comparative study: the impact of different lipid extraction methods on current microalgal lipid research
Microalgae cells have the potential to rapidly accumulate lipids, such as triacylglycerides that contain fatty acids important for high value fatty acids (e.g., EPA and DHA) and/or biodiesel production. However, lipid extraction methods for microalgae cells are not well established, and there is currently no standard extraction method for the determination of the fatty acid content of microalga...
