Use of sodium bicarbonate to stimulate triacylglycerol accumulation in the chlorophyte Scenedesmus sp. and the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (2012, background): “Due to fast growth rates and physiological diversity (Hu et al. 2008), microalgae are well suited for use in growth systems that can overcome land area limitations in a variety of climates.”
Potential and properties of marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata as biomass fuel feedstock (2014, background): “Microalgae multiply their biomass about 1–3 per day [7] and theoretically can produce oil per hectare 100 times higher than that of terrestrial crops [8].”
Bioremediation of the textile waste effluent by Chlorella vulgaris (2014, background): “Moreover the amount of lipids in chlorophyta may be raised up to 45% of dry weight by stress or nutrient starvation (Hu et al., 2008).”
Physiological role of neutral lipid accumulation in eukaryotic microalgae under stresses (2012, background): “The interest to lipids of microalgae is determined by their high potential as a raw material for pharma ceutical, chemical, and food industries [7].”
The potential of sustainable algal biofuel production using wastewater resources. (2011, background): “This and subsequent research has focussed on identifying microalgae strains that are capable of synthesising significant quantities of lipids and in identifying cultivation conditions that will provide the greatest lipid productivities (Griffiths and Harrison, 2009; Hu et al., 2008).”
