A biorefinery from Nannochloropsis sp. microalga – Extraction of oils and pigments. Production of biohydrogen from the leftover biomass
Beatriz P. Nobre,Fidel Villalobos,Blanca E Barragan,Ana Oliveira,Ana Paula Batista,Paula Alexandra Marques,Rui L. Mendes,Helena Sovová,António F. Palavra,Luísa Gouveia +9 more
TL;DR: The microalgal biomass, which has a high lipid and pigment content (mainly carotenoids), was submitted to supercritical CO2 extraction and was effectively used as feedstock to produce biohydrogen through dark fermentation by Enterobacter aerogenes resulting in a hydrogen production yield of 60.6 mL/g dry biomass.
