TL;DR: A combined bead milling and enzymatic hydrolysis process was developed for fractionation of the major valuable biomass components, i.e., proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids from the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris.

TL;DR: It is concluded that physiological and biochemical factors hinder efficient fractionation of green sources and imply that green sources should be explored in a different manner, with higher emphasis on the interesting functional properties of enriched fractions and less on their purity.

TL;DR: This review provides a broad overview of natural ester production by microorganisms and focusses on the physical properties of short and medium chain esters, which may simplify downstream processing, while limiting the effects of product toxicity.

TL;DR: An Aqueous two phase system (ATPS) was used to partition proteins from crude microalgae extracts obtained from two green micro algae of industrial interest and the Non-Random Two Liquids model (NRTL) provided a good representation of the experimental data for the liquid-liquid equilibrium.

TL;DR: Current microalgae biorefinery strategies and the derived products are described, followed by new technological developments and an outlook toward future products and the bioreFinery philosophy.
