metabolites like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins …

Microalgae are an important source of oils and other molecules that can be used as
feedstocks to produce biofuels and high-value products, having the potential of becoming a …

Exceeding nitrogen discharge into natural water bodies can lead to eutrophication in natural
aquatic environments, as well as the decline in shellfish habitat and aquatic plant life …

Algae is a potent renewable source with the favorable characteristics. However, there are
still many barriers in the related theory, techniques and industrialization, which lead to the …

Microalgae are feedstocks for production of carbon-neutral biofuels. Efforts have been
performed to market microalgae biofuels, yet the production of microalgae biofuel remains a …

Flashing light can enhance photosynthesis and improve the quality and quantity of
microalgal biomass, as it can increase the products of interest by magnitudes. Therefore, the …
