Microalgae: A promising feedstock for biodiesel (2009, background): “Durrett et al. (2008) suggested that even converting total 2005 USA soybean crop to biodiesel would replace only 10% of conventional diesel consumed.”
Advances and perspectives in using microalgae to produce biodiesel (2011, background): “In higher plants, several studies have explored the effects of overexpressing enzymes associated with lipid synthesis [17], yet little change in oil content was achieved in species containing higher levels of acetyl-CoA carboxylase – the rate limiting step in fatty acid biosynthesis, possibly becaus”

Transcriptional regulation of fatty acid production in higher plants: Molecular bases and biotechnological outcomes (2014, positive): “Plant oils are consequently used for biodiesel production [12] and as industrial feedstock for the synthesis of a wide range of products (e.”
Fatty acids profiling: A selective criterion for screening microalgae strains for biodiesel production (2013, background): “Given the FA profile and its impact on the quality of produced biodiesel, it has been reported that C16:1 and C18:1 fatty acids (palmitoleic acid and oleic acid, respectively) are most favorable for biodiesel production [22,67].”
