TL;DR: This review presents recent advances in microAlgal cultivation, photobioreactor design, and harvesting technologies with a focus on microalgal oil (mainly triglycerides) production and aims to provide useful information to help future development of efficient and commercially viable technology for microalgae-based biodiesel production.

TL;DR: The growth and lipid productivity of an isolated microalga Chlorella vulgaris ESP-31 were investigated under different media and cultivation conditions, including phototrophic growth (NaHCO(3) or CO(2), with light), heterotrophicrowth (glucose, without light), photoheterotrophicgrowth (glUCose, with light) and mixotrophic Growth (glucaose and CO( 2), withLight).

TL;DR: A two-stage process combining dark/photo fermentation was used to increase the overall hydrogen yield from sucrose and also to reduce the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the effluent.

TL;DR: Comparison of single‐stage and two‐stage nitrogen starvation strategies shows that single-stage cultivation on basal medium with low initial nitrogen source concentration was the most effective approach to enhance microalgal lipid production, attaining a lipid productivity of 78 mg/L/d and a lipid content of 55.9%.

TL;DR: A carbon source (sodium bicarbonate) concentration of 1000 mg/L was found to be optimal for the growth of strain ESP‐31 in terms of both biomass production and carbon source utilization and a new fluorescent light source (TL5) was effective in indoor cultivation of microalgae.
