TL;DR: Chen et al. as mentioned in this paper provided an overview of the biological and engineering aspects in the production and processing technologies and recent advances in research and development in the algae to fuels approach, covering biology, selection and genetic modification of algae species and strains, production systems design, culture media and light management, harvest and dewatering, downstream processing, and environment and economic assessment.

TL;DR: The results showed that all 14 algae strains from the genus of Chlorella, Haematococcus, Scenedesmus, Chlamydomonas, and Chloroccum were able to grow on centrate and both were proved to be capable of mixotrophic growth when cultivated on centrerate.

TL;DR: A hetero-photoautotrophic algal growth model was studied for improved wastewater treatment and low cost algal biofuel feedstock production and can be used to treat organic-rich wastewaters (e.g. industrial and animal manure wastewater) to achieve the dual purpose of low-cost wastewater treatment

TL;DR: A novel mass microalgae production system which uses “centrate”, a concentrated wastewater stream, to produce microalgal biomass for energy production and its ability to remove nutrients from centrate is investigated.

TL;DR: A newly isolated facultative heterotrophic freshwater microalgae strain, Auxenochlorella protothecoides UMN280, was examined for algal growth, wastewater nutrient removal efficiency, and lipid accumulation in batch and semi-continuous cultivation with various hydraulic retention time using concentrated municipal wastewater (CMW) as cultivation media as mentioned in this paper.
