The reduced size of the cells (< 30 µm in diameter) and low cell concentration microalgae cyanobacteria cultures (0.5 g/L on average) greatly hinder densification biomass, a crucial step to becoming biofuel production from algal biomass economically viable. To identify best method, about 90 studies applied 60 different were compiled through an extensive literature survey, classified into eig...

In the current scenario, biofuel production from microalgae is beneficial to sustainability. Recently, one of most pressing concerns has been finding cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy sources meet rising demands without jeopardizing environmental integrity. Microalgae provide a viable biomass feedstock for as global market biofuels rises. Biodiesel made usually regarded best na...

Mass culture of algae for the production of biofuels is a developing technology designed to offset the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. However, large scale culture of algae in open ponds can be challenging because of incidences of infestation with algal parasites. Without knowledge of the identity of the specific parasite and how to control these pests, algal-based biofuel production will be...

The primary contributor to global warming has been the careless usage of fossil fuels. Urbanization’s threat depletion these resources made it necessary find alternatives due rising demand. Four different forms biofuels are now available and constitute a possible replacement for first generation is generated from edible portion biomass, second non-edible third algal fourth using molecular biolo...

Chlorella sorokiniana is an important industry microalga potential for biofuel production. Inoculum size is one of the important factors in algal large-scale culture, and has great effects on the growth, lipid accumulation and metabolism of microalgae. As the first barrier of cell contents, membrane plays a vital role in algal inoculum-related metabolism. The knowledge of phospholipids, the mai...

Background An economical strategy for producing microalgae as biofuel feedstock is driven by the freshwater and nutrients input. In this study, seawater was applied to limnetic algal cultivation and the behavior of algae in seawater media was observed including growth, lipid synthesis, and ultrastructure. To make seawater cater algae, a kind of wastewater, anaerobically digested effluent from k...
