The use of fossil fuels is now widely accepted as unsustainable due to depleting resources
and the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the environment that have already exceeded …

Microalgae are the untapped resource with more than 25,000 species of which only 15 are
in use. In recent years, microalgal culture technology is a business oriented line owing to …

Four green microalgae (TRG, KB, SK, and PSU) identified as Botryococcus spp. by
morphological criteria were isolated from lakes and freshwater ponds in southern Thailand …

Growth of Botryococcus braunii (race 'A') and production of its constituents viz, hydrocarbon,
carbohydrate, fatty acid, and carotenoids were influenced by different levels of salinity …

Of the total carotenoids in respective algal samples, β-carotene in Spirulina platensis was
69.5%, astaxanthin and its esters in Haematococcus pluvialis was 81.38%, and lutein in …

The influence of different nitrogen source of varying concentrations on biomass production
of green algae Scenedesmus was investigated. The result revealed that there was a …

Biodiesel-derived glycerol is a promising substrate for mixotrophic cultivation of oleaginous
microalgae, which can also reduce the cost of microalgal biodiesel. The objective of this …

The green alga Botryococcus braunii is regarded as a potential source of renewable fuel
due to its high lipid and hydrocarbon contents. However, the slow growth rate damaged its …

Growth of Botryococcus braunii was studied using different autotrophic media such as bold
basal medium (BBM), and bold basal with ammonium carbonate (BBMa), BG11, modified …

Biofuels from algae are considered as promising alternatives of conventional fossil fuels, as
they can eliminate most of the environmental problems. The present study focuses on all the …
