Microalgae for high-value compounds and biofuels production: a review with focus on cultivation under stress conditions.
Giorgos Markou,Elias Nerantzis +1 more
TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a review on the available literature about the cultivation of microalgae for the accumulation of high-value compounds along with lipids or carbohydrates focusing on stress cultivation conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microalgal and cyanobacterial cultivation: the supply of nutrients.
TL;DR: The main focus is on the three most significant nutrients, i.e. carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, and their uptake by microalgae and cyanobacteria; however other nutrients are also reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Algae biofuels: versatility for the future of bioenergy.
TL;DR: Of the potential sources of biofuels the most efficient producers of biomass are the photosynthetic microalgae and cyanobacteria, which can be used for the production of bioethanol, biodiesel, biohydrogen, and biogas.

Anaerobic treatment of apple waste with swine manure for biogas production: Batch and continuous operation
Gopi Krishna Kafle,Sang Hun Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of anaerobic digesters using a mixture of apple waste (AW) and swine manure (SM) was evaluated using both batch and continuous digesters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of sweet sorghum for biodiesel production by heterotrophic microalga Chlorella protothecoides
TL;DR: The results indicate that sweet sorghum juice could effectively enhance algal lipid production, and its application may reduce the cost of algae-based biodiesel.

Continuous co-digestion of cattle slurry with fruit and vegetable wastes and chicken manure
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuously stirred tank was used as a mesophilic anaerobic reactor to examine the effect of adding the FVW and CM to a system which was digesting cattle slurry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic thermophilic digestion of manure at different ammonia loads: Effect of temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature in the range of 40-64°C on thermophilic anaerobic digestion of cattle manure with two different ammonia concentrations (2.5 and 6.0 g-N/l) was investigated in continuouslyfed lab-scale reactors: the higher ammonia concentration reduced the maximum tolerable temperature.
