Optimization of aeration for biodiesel production by Scenedesmus obliquus grown in municipal wastewater
Song-Fang Han,Wenbiao Jin,Renjie Tu,Abd El-Fatah Abomohra,Abd El-Fatah Abomohra,Zhi-Han Wang +5 more
TL;DR: Fatty acid profile showed that optimized aeration significantly enhanced monounsaturated fatty acid production, composed mainly of C18:1, by 1.8 times over the non-aerated S. obliquus culture with insignificant changes in polyuns saturated fatty acid proportion; suggesting better biodiesel characteristics for the optimized culture.
