The promising future of microalgae: current status, challenges, and optimization of a sustainable and renewable industry for biofuels, feed, and other products (2018, background): “A proper mixing system in a photo-bioreactor not only enables nutrient dissolution and light penetration into the culture but also provides for efficient gaseous exchange [95].”
Biodiesel from microalgae: A critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production (2013, background): “Amongst the major limitations is low productivity as compared to photobioreactors and environmental factors to some extent cannot be controlled [8,69,88].”
Effect of CO2 concentration on algal growth: A review (2014, unknown): “Genetic engineering methods are improved microalgal photosynthetic rate to enhance CO2 fixation and gain higher quantity of biomass to produce biodiesel and other important alternatives [17].”
Growth, nutrient uptake and chemical composition of Chlorella sp. and Nannochloropsis oculata under nitrogen starvation (2016, unknown): “It is expected an increase and a diversification of applications involving microalgae, as a consequence of the ongoing search for more productive systems to supply the society with food, feedstocks, and high value biochemical products (Zeng et al., 2011; Lee-Chang et al., 2013).”
