• The effect of sodium bicarbonate supplementation on growth and biochemical composition of marine microalgae cultures (2012, neutral): “practical difficulties associated with the microalgal production process (Greenwell et al. 2010; Scott et al. 2010; Wijffels and Barbosa 2010; Williams and Laurens 2010; Norsker et al. 2011).”
• Biodiesel from microalgae: A critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production (2013, background): “The greater proportion of the lipids produced is TAGs which are produced as metabolic rate of microalgae slows [6].”
• Improved production of lutein and β-carotene by thermal and light intensity upshifts in the marine microalga Tetraselmis sp. CTP4 (2020, background): “Moreover, they also display higher productivities than land crops [3].”
• Fatty acids of microalgae: diversity and applications (2021, background): “The content of glycolipids and phospholipids in lipids of some microalgae can be up to 93% (Williams and Laurens 2010).”
• Macroalgae-Derived Biofuel: A Review of Methods of Energy Extraction from Seaweed Biomass (2014, background): “The potential biomass yield of algae per unit area is also often higher than that of terrestrial plants [5–7] with, for example, brown seaweeds grown “under cultured conditions” having yields of ~13.”
• Lipid content and fatty acid composition of Mediterranean macro-algae as dynamic factors for biodiesel production (2015, background): “There has been increased interest in the marine production of biofuels derived from macro-algae (seaweed) and microalgae (single cell plants) (Singh and Cu, 2010; Williams and Laurens, 2010).”
• Macroalgae in biofuel production (2015, background): “…TAGs are preferred over glycolipids and phospholipids due to their high percentage of fatty acids and lack of phosphorus, sulfur and nitrogen, which are present in algal phospho- and glycolipids and may be problematic in the end-product biofuel (Williams & Laurens 2010; MacDougall et al. 2011).”
