Fatty acid biosynthesis in microorganisms being used for Single Cell Oil production
TLDR
While PUFA production in most microorganisms uses a conventional fatty acid synthase system followed by a series of desaturases and elongases, in Schizochytrium sp.About:

Biofuels from microalgae—A review of technologies for production, processing, and extractions of biofuels and co-products
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the technologies underpinning microalgae-to-bio-fuels systems, focusing on the biomass production, harvesting, conversion technologies, and the extraction of useful co-products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial applications of microalgae
TL;DR: The first use of microalgae by humans dates back 2000 years to the Chinese, who used Nostoc to survive during famine, while future research should focus on the improvement of production systems and the genetic modification of strains.

Peer M. Schenk,Skye R. Thomas-Hall,Evan Stephens,Ute C. Marx,Jan H. Mussgnug,Clemens Posten,Olaf Kruse,Ben Hankamer +7 more
TL;DR: A review of second generation biodiesel production systems using microalgae can be found in this paper, where the main advantages of second-generation microalgal systems are that they: (1) have a higher photon conversion efficiency (as evidenced by increased biomass yields per hectare): (2) can be harvested batch-wise nearly all-year-round, providing a reliable and continuous supply of oil: (3) can utilize salt and waste water streams, thereby greatly reducing freshwater use: (4) can couple CO2-neutral fuel production with CO2 sequestration: (
