Review of biological and engineering aspects of algae to fuels approach (2009, background): “In addition, heterotrophic cells (Chlorella protothecoides) were found to accumulate higher levels of oils than the autotrophic ones([12]).”
Growth characteristics of the cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme in photoautotrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic cultivation (2009, background): “Much work has been done on heterotrophic and mixotrophic growth of the green algae Chlorella (Shi et al. 2000, 2006; Xu et al. 2006 ) and Haematococcus (Kang et al. 2005; Kaewpintong et al. 2007).”

Anaerobic fermentation of glycerol: a path to economic viability for the biofuels industry. (2007, background): “For example, the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol and the use of oilaccumulating algae in the production of biodiesel are being investigated [7,8].”
Heterotrophic cultivation of mixed microalgae for lipid accumulation and wastewater treatment during sequential growth and starvation phases: Effect of nutrient supplementation (2012, background): “According to ecological diversity productivity theory multispecies pond ecosystems produce much higher algalbiomass yields than species specific photo-bioreactors [32].”
Heterotrophic cultures of microalgae: metabolism and potential products. (2011, methodology): “For example, the lipid content in heterotrophically growncellsofC.protothecoides isashighas55%,aquantity that is up to four times greater that autotrophically grown cultures under otherwise similar conditions (Xu et al., 2006).”
Development of an effective acidogenically digested swine manure-based algal system for improved wastewater treatment and biofuel and feed production (2013, neutral): “[37] found that the biodiesel from algal oil of Chlorella protothecoides was abundantly composed of 18 carbon acid methyl esters, and had comparable physical and fuel properties to diesel fuel.”
Effects of nitrogen sources on cell growth and lipid accumulation of green alga Neochloris oleoabundans (2008, background): “A few microalgal species, including some Chlorella species (Illman et al. 2000; Liu et al. 2008; Xiong et al. 2008 ; X u et al. 2006), Dunaliella species (Gordillo et al. 1998 ;T akagi et al. 2006), Nannochloris sp.
