• Molecular mechanisms for photosynthetic carbon partitioning into storage neutral lipids in Nannochloropsis oceanica under nitrogen-depletion conditions (2015, background): “However a key biological hurdle for an economically viable microalgal oil industry is the lack of desirable industrial strains capable of high oil productivity in outdoor large-scale cultivation [4,5].”
• Constraints to commercialization of algal fuels. (2013, background): “In addition, the use of synthetic biology methods may llow algae to be produced with new capabilities (Schmidt et al., 010; Heidorn et al., 2011; Georgianna and Mayfield, 2012; Noorohammadi et al., 2012; Maurino and Weber, 2013).”
• Screening and evaluation of some green algal strains (Chlorophyceae) isolated from freshwater and soda lakes for biofuel production. (2015, background): “The most important fuel properties considered to assess the potential of biodiesel as substitute of diesel fuel are viscosity, cetane number (CN), density, cold filter plugging point (CFPP), oxidative stability, lubricity, ignition quality, combustion heat and cold flow [6,49].”
• Design of photobioreactors for mass cultivation of photosynthetic organisms (2017, background): “to excessive solar heating are expensive elements [79].”
• Applying ecological principles of crop cultivation in large-scale algal biomass production (2014, background): “No plant or animal species currently used in large-scale agricultural or industrial production is a wild-type strain (because they have all been modified by careful breeding and selection), and a similar domestication process will likely necessary to obtain the algal strains that can generate both s”
