Cultivation of Microalgae Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. as a Potentional Biofuel Feedstock (2011, positive): “Strains with relatively high lipid content are very attractive for biodiesel fuel production (Rodolfi et al. 2009).”
The potential of sustainable algal biofuel production using wastewater resources. (2011, background): “…have focussed on identifying conditions that induce high accumulation of neutral lipids (particularly triacylglycerol) in the microalgae cells, like a nutrient stress such as nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P) limitation (Converti et al., 2009; Dean et al., 2010; Li et al., 2008; Rodolfi et al., 2009).”
Comparative energy life-cycle analyses of microalgal biomass production in open ponds and photobioreactors. (2010, background): “with the potential for an annual production of 20 tons per hectare of lipids, when cultivated in a Mediterranean climate, and for more than 30 tons per hectare, when cultivated in tropical areas (Rodolfi et al., 2009).”
Improved Nile Red staining of Nannochloropsis sp. (2011, background): “Nannochloropsis is used for a range of products including aquaculture feed, pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, and as a biofuel feedstock (Rosenberg et al. 2008; Gouveia and Oliveira 2009; Rodolfi et al. 2009).”
Nutrient limitation as a strategy for increasing starch accumulation in microalgae (2011, positive): “Any carbon dioxide subsequently fixed is therefore converted into carbohydrate or lipid rather than protein [26,27].”
Lipid productivity as a key characteristic for choosing algal species for biodiesel production (2009, background): “The proportion of various lipid classes (particularly triglycerides) varies widely with environmental conditions (Rodolfi et al. 2008), making it difficult to compare algal species across experimental conditions (Molina Grima et al. 1994).”
Isolation of high-lipid content strains of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica for biodiesel production by flow cytometry and single-cell sorting (2011, background): “Tetraselmis suecica is considered to be a high-lipid productivity strain (Rodolfi et al. 2008) with an average lipid productivity of 32 mg L day (Griffiths and Harrison 2009).”
Influence of Nitrogen Limitation on Lipid Accumulation and EPA and DHA Content in Four Marine Microalgae for Possible Use in Aquafeed (2019, background): “The accumulation of TAG and changes in fatty acid profiles under N-limitation have also been observed in several diatoms, green algae and red algae (Rodolfi et al., 2009; Sharma et al., 2012; Valenzuela et al., 2012; Yang et al., 2013).”
Process Design and Economics for the Production of Algal Biomass: Algal Biomass Production in Open Pond Systems and Processing Through Dewatering for Downstream Conversion (2016, background): “1) in light of known tradeoffs between achievable growth rate and lipid content [35,36].”
