Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Nitrogen on Growth and Lipid Content of Chlorella pyrenoidosaSubhasha Nigam, Monika Prakash Rai, Rupali SharmaProblem Statement: In today’s scenario, microalgae are widely recognized as a promising source for biofuel production as a renewable source of energy. They are exceedingly rich in oil, which can be converted to biofuel. This paper deals with one of the method to enhance the lipid content in microalgae. Approach: Microalga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, was grown autotrophically in batch culture and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2011 · 12,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMixed-Polarity Azeotropic Solvents for Efficient Extraction of Lipids from Nannochloropsis MicroalgaeRobert D. Long, Elseddik AbdelkaderProblem statement: The extraction of lipids from microalgae for biofuel production is a significant problem due to the intractability of their cell wall. The aim of this study of lipid extraction from Nannochloropsis microalgae was to examine the relative efficiencies of some commonly used solvent systems and test the use of co-boiling solvents in Soxhlet extraction as an improved method. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 12 Aug 2011 · 9,387 accessesView PDFCite
