TL;DR: This study indicated that high DO was preferred for the cells’ reproduction via release of zoospores, and the two-stage culture process could be potentially used not only for omega-3 PUFA production, but also in other single cell oil (SCO)-producing processes, including biodiesel production from algae.

TL;DR: The filamentous fungus Mortierella isabellina ATCC42613 was used to assess the conversion of different carbon sources in submerged media to lipid, elucidate the potential of utilizing filamentous fungal fermentation to accumulate lipids from lignocellulosic biomass for biodiesel production.

TL;DR: A new approach to form pellets has been developed using only potato dextrose broth, soybean peptone, and calcium carbonate allowing for pellet size to be controlled by adjusting inoculum size and the concentrations of potato deXTrose broth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied an ecological approach on an open algal cultivation system and found that non-filamentous green algae, especially Chlorella, were able to tolerate high nutrient loadings in a five-month cultivation; a chemically pretreated liquid manure effluent which contained 200gm−m−3 of total nitrogen and 2.5m−1 of total dissolved phosphorus provided an optimal nutrient concentration for the cultivation of selected algae.

TL;DR: The cellulose utilization efficiencies determined that the CSTR AD fiber was a suitable biorefining feedstock compared to switchgrass and corn stover.
