Biodiesel from microalgae beats bioethanol. (2008, background): “The biomass residue that remains after extraction of oil could be used partly as high-protein animal feed and, possibly, as a source of small amounts of other high-value microalgal products [5, 11 ,12].”
Enhancement of biodiesel production from different species of algae (2010, methodology): “…not new (Chisti, 1980 – 1981; Nagle and Lemke, 1990; Sawayama et al., 1995), but it is now being taken seriously because of the increasing price of petroleum and more significantly, the emerging concern about global warming that is associated with burning fossil fuels (Gavrilescu and Chisti, 2005).”
Biodiesel from microalgae. (2007, background): “…derived from microalgal oil (Roessler et al., 1994; Sawayama et al., 1995; Dunahay et al., 1996; Sheehan et al., 1998; Banerjee et al., 2002; Gavrilescu and Chisti, 2005); and photobiologically produced biohydrogen (Ghirardi et al., 2000; Akkerman et al., 2002; Melis, 2002; Fedorov et al.,…”
Biodiesel Fuel Production from Algae as Renewable Energy (2008, background): “These include methane produced by anaerobic digestion of the algal biomass([6]) biodiesel derived from microalgal oil([11,12,13]) and photobiologically produced biohydrogen([14,15]).”
Environmental Biotechnology: Achievements, Opportunities and Challenges (2010, background): “AND IMPLICATIONS As a recognition of the strategic value of biotechnology, integrated plans are formulating and implementing in many countries for using biotechnology for industrial regeneration, job creation and social progress (Rijaux 1977; Gavrilescu and Chisti 2005).”
OptFlux: an open-source software platform for in silico metabolic engineering (2010, background): “This field has received increasing attention within the last few years, due to the extraordinary growth in the adoption of white or industrial biotechnological processes for the production of bulk chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food ingredients and enzymes, among other products [2,3].”
Prospective of biodiesel production utilizing microalgae as the cell factories: A comprehensive discussion (2010, background): “It include methane produced by anaerobic digestion of biomass (Spolaore et al., 2006), biodiesel derived from oil (Banerjee et al., 2002; Gavrilescu and Chisti, 2005), biohydrogen and bioethanol produced by photobiologically active microalgae (Fedorov et al., 2005; Kapdan and Kargi, 2006).”
A review on microalgae, a versatile source for sustainable energy and materials (2011, background): “The utilization of microalgae as a renewable source for obtaining fuel was an old concept proposed in fifties with follow up in sixties and seventies particularly for producing biogas [32] and later reported for liquid fuel in eighties and nineties [2,3], but received increased attention in recent t”
Fatty acids profiling: A selective criterion for screening microalgae strains for biodiesel production (2013, background): “Autotrophic micro-organisms such as algae seem to be a promising solution for fulfilling this need, it might take quite a while till they are economically feasible though [1,2].”
Potential of the micro and macro algae for biofuel production: a brief review. (2013, background): “2006), biodiesel synthesized from the micro algal oil (Thomas 2006), and biohydrogen produced by a photobiological mechanism (Gavrilescu and Chisti 2005).”
A review on production of poly β hydroxybutyrates from cyanobacteria for the production of bio plastics (2013, background): “This fully biodegradable thermoplastic polyester material commonly found in nature, as intracellular deposits in bacteria and in cyanobacteria formed as a carbon and energy storage mechanisms when both are under stress, as explained by Geoffrey Coates [157,158].”
