Second generation biofuels: high-efficiency microalgae for biodiesel production
Peer M. Schenk,Skye R. Thomas-Hall,Evan Stephens,Ute C. Marx,Jan H. Mussgnug,Clemens Posten,Olaf Kruse,Ben Hankamer +7 more
TL;DR: A review of second generation biodiesel production systems using microalgae can be found in this paper, where the main advantages of second-generation microalgal systems are that they: (1) have a higher photon conversion efficiency (as evidenced by increased biomass yields per hectare): (2) can be harvested batch-wise nearly all-year-round, providing a reliable and continuous supply of oil: (3) can utilize salt and waste water streams, thereby greatly reducing freshwater use: (4) can couple CO2-neutral fuel production with CO2 sequestration: (
Journal ArticleDOI
Microalgae as substrates for fermentative biogas production in a combined biorefinery concept.
TL;DR: It is concluded that selected algae species can be good substrates for biogas production and that anaerobic fermentation can seriously be considered as final step in future microalgae-based biorefinery concepts.
Journal ArticleDOI
An economic and technical evaluation of microalgal biofuels
Evan Stephens,Ian L. Ross,Zachary A. King,Jan H. Mussgnug,Olaf Kruse,Clemens Posten,Michael A. Borowitzka,Ben Hankamer +7 more
TL;DR: To evaluate claims and provide an accurate analysis of the potential of microalgal biofuel systems, industrial feasibility studies and sensitivity analyses based on peer-reviewed data and industrial expertise are conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of industrial biotechnology with cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microalgae
TL;DR: The potential and current biotechnological developments of cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microalgae are summarized and a synthetic-systems biology approach has a great potential to exploit cyanob bacteria as cell factories.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results suggest that species related to those of the genus Methanoculleus play a dominant role in methanogenesis in the analysed fermentation sample, and assignment of numerous contig sequences toClostridial genomes including gene regions for cellulolytic functions indicates that clostridia are important for hydrolysis of cellulosic plant biomass in the biogas fermenter under study.
