A study on simultaneous photolimitation and photoinhibition in dense microalgal cultures taking into account incident and averaged irradiances
TL;DR: A new approach to model simultaneous photolimitation and photoinhibition is proposed by considering that specific growth rate is related to average irradiance and that parameters representing the cell adaptability to light are a function of the maximum irradiation at which cells are exposed, that is, the incident irradiance.

Improved recovery of fatty acid through direct transesterification without prior extraction or purification.
TL;DR: The direct transesterification method appears to be particularly advantageous for the recovery of the highly volatile medium chain triglycerides and there is no need to add an antioxidant to protect unsaturated lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of N:P atomic ratios and nitrate limitation on algal growth, cell composition, and nitrate uptake 1
TL;DR: In this paper, Scenedesmus sp. was grown in chemostats at a fixed growth rate (p) in an inorganic medium with nitrogen to phosphorus atomic ratios (N:P) ranging from 5 to 80, to investigate the effect of double nutrient limitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass production, total protein, chlorophylls, lipids and fatty acids of freshwater green and blue-green algae under different nitrogen regimes☆
TL;DR: The green but not the blue-green algae can be manipulated in mass cultures to yield a biomass with desired fatty acid and lipid compositions, which may indicate a hitherto unrecognized distinction between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical profile of selected species of microalgae with emphasis on lipids1
TL;DR: The low production of hydrocarbon fractions in nitrogen deficient Botryococcus braunii Kutz and Dunaliella salina Thomas cannot support the notion that microalgae can be utilized as biosolar energy converters for the production of liquid fuel, but point to the availability of a variety of neutral and polar lipid products.
