Macroalgae in biofuel production (2015, methodology): “Biogas production is based on methanogenic bacteria digesting the biomass in anaerobic conditions (Vergara-Fernández et al. 2008).”
Effect of thermochemical pretreatment on the solubilization and anaerobic biodegradability of the red macroalga Palmaria palmata (2013, background): “Later, studies focused on advanced digester design, process optimization and kinetics [4,5].”
Review of biological and engineering aspects of algae to fuels approach (2009, methodology): “5 Anaerobic digestion Marine algae consist of polysaccharides (alginate, laminaran and mannitol), with no or very low lignin and low cellulose content, making them a good material for methane fermentation([116]).”
