Biodiesel from microalgae: A critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production (2013, methodology): “The most rapid and effective universally accepted method for total biomass separation is by continuous centrifugation [43,44].”
Advances and perspectives in using microalgae to produce biodiesel (2011, methodology): “[30] using a 5-L fermentor, following an improved fed-batch culture strategy: 20-fold higher figures were obtained than under phototrophic cultivation.”
Mixotrophic cultivation of a Chlorella sorokiniana strain for enhanced biomass and lipid production (2014, background): “As a result, achieving higher lipid content usually comes at the expense of lower biomass productivity [2].”
Life cycle assessment of the production of the red antioxidant carotenoid astaxanthin by microalgae: from lab to pilot scale (2014, background): “The use of solar illumination could be a cheap alternative although it presents limitations due to the diurnal fluctuations of light intensity that may result in a decrease in the total biomass concentration as high as 35% (Chen et al., 2011; Ogbonna et al., 1999).”
