Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of coagulant/flocculants on bioproducts from microalgae.
TL;DR: This research assessed the effect of coagulation, flocculation, and centrifugation on the wet lipid extraction procedure, which fractionated microalgae into hydrolyzed biomass for fermentation into acetone, butanol, and ethanol, an aqueous phase as growth media for genetically engineered Escherichia coli, and a lipid fraction for the production of biodiesel.

Cultivation of Microalgae Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. as a Potentional Biofuel Feedstock
TL;DR: Investigation of the growth of two robust algae strains Chlorella sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent development of hydrothermal liquefaction for algal biorefinery.
TL;DR: The two-stage sequential hydrothermal liquefaction (SEQHTL) process was proposed as an alternative to overcome this limitation as mentioned in this paper, which operates at reduced temperature and pressure to facilitate production of co-products in addition to bio-oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional multi-layer graphene-algae hybrid material formed using vortex fluidics
TL;DR: In this article, dynamic thin films confined in a microfluidic platform are effective in exfoliating graphite in water and then decorating the multi-layer 2D sheets on the surface of microalgal cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and status of dedicated energy crops in the United States
TL;DR: Leading candidate energy crops have been identified, yet require additional efforts to realize their full potential, and provide the means to substantially displace humanity’s reliance on petroleum-based energy.

Haematococcus astaxanthin: applications for human health and nutrition
TL;DR: The research reviewed supports the assumption that protecting body tissues from oxidative damage with daily ingestion of natural astaxanthin might be a practical and beneficial strategy in health management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial production of microalgae: ponds, tanks, tubes and fermenters
TL;DR: A helical tubular photobioreactor system, the BIOCOIL™, has been developed which allows these algae to be grown reliably outdoors at high cell densities in semi-continuous culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial potential for Haematococcus microalgae as a natural source of astaxanthin.
TL;DR: Cultivation methods have been developed to produce Haematococcus containing 1.5-3.0% astaxanthin by dry weight, with potential applications as a pigment source in aquaculture, poultry feeds and in the worldwide nutraceutical market.
