TL;DR: The composition of oil produced under phototrophic and heterotrophic growth was significantly diferent, with the former enriched in polyunsaturated fatty acids while the latter contained more of mediumchainsaturatedfatty and monouns saturated fatty acids suitable for biodiesel production.
Abstract: Chlorococcum sp. RAP13—afreshwater 13 microalga was evaluated for growth and lipid production in Q1 14 medium containing 50 % natural sea water under both 15 phototrophic and heterotrophic cultivation modes. The algal 16 cells adapted very well to the sea water and accumulatedupto 17 38 % of their dry cell weight as lipids under heterotrophic 18 cultivation.

TL;DR: In this article, the heavy metal removal capacity of two algae viz. Chlorococcum hemicolum and Anabaena PCC 7120 was assessed in short term time series lapse experiments.
Abstract: Cadmium, Nickel and Copper removal capacity of two algae viz. Chlorococcum hemicolum and Anabaena PCC 7120 was assessed in short term time series lapse experiments. Metal concentration was selected on the basis of individual metal tolerance limit of the algae. Emphasis was to judge the heavy metal removal capacity and its Kinetics. Three parameters viz. tolerance limit, uptake rate and path were taken for comparison. Results showed that C. hemicolum exhibit different strategy to combat Cd2+ and Ni2+ stress which may be genetic one. That explains its greater tolerance to these heavy metals, a significant criterion for bioremediation purpose. Anabaena exhibited low tolerance but with higher uptake rates that makes it good bioremediator in terms of turnover of metal per unit biomass.
