TL;DR: Significant increase of monounsaturated fatty acids under the nutrient limited conditions was suitable to produce biodiesel.

TL;DR: In this paper, four common green algal genera viz. Cladophora glomerata, Chaetomorpha aerea, Rhizoclonium crassipellitum, and Pithophora cleveana were tested in controlled and nutrient stress conditions.

TL;DR: C Cyanobacteria are capable of rapidly sequestering CO2 into lipid-enriched biomass while utilizing dissolved inorganic nutrients in wastewater and showed potential in biodiesel and nutraceutical production, respectively, but culture conditions including photoperiod and CO2 supply were found to affect the LCFA profiles slightly.

TL;DR: In this article, a laboratory-based integrated approach was undertaken for improvement of lipid accumulation in green microalgae under sodium chloride (NaCl) stress, and the maximum biomass yields were obtained in the media with initial NaCl concentrations at 2 g L−1 (for Chlorella) and 0.05 g L −1 (For Chlorococcum) after 14 days of culture.

TL;DR: Investigation of brackish-water sites in the Indian Sunderbans found nutrient availability and salinity in the water column mainly affected biomass yield and C sequestration of mat-forming macrophytes and OC input into water column, however, OC contents of underlying muck proved to be very stable, though small influxes of OC occurred at each bloom.
