Dewatering of microalgal cultures : a major bottleneck to algae-based fuels
TL;DR: In this paper, various technologies currently used for dewatering microalgal cultures along with a comparative study of the performances of the different technologies are reviewed and compared, as well as a comparison of the performance of different technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Algae as potential feedstock for the production of biofuels and value-added products: Opportunities and challenges
TL;DR: The variety of processes and pathways through which bio-valorization of algal biomass can be performed are described in this review and the biorefinery model and its collaborative approach with various processes are highlighted for the production of eco-friendly, sustainable, and cost-effective biofuels and value-added products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microalgae for the production of lipid and carotenoids: a review with focus on stress regulation and adaptation.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the overall state of ALE technology, including available selection pressures, methods, and their applications in microalgae for the improved production of lipids and carotenoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manipulating environmental stresses and stress tolerance of microalgae for enhanced production of lipids and value-added products–A review
TL;DR: This review discusses the process manipulation strategies and omics studies on understanding the regulation of metabolite biosynthesis under various stressful conditions, and proposes genetic engineering of microalgae to improve bioproduction via manipulating stress tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

One Juliet and four Romeos: VeA and its methyltransferases.
TL;DR: Interaction of VeA with at least four methyltransferase proteins indicates a molecular hub function for VeA that questions: Is there a VeA supercomplex or is VeA part of a highly dynamic cellular control network with many different partners?
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of microalgal biomass and metabolites: process options and economics
TL;DR: Economics of monoseptic production of microalgae in photobioreactors and the downstream recovery of metabolites are discussed using eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) recovery as a representative case study.
