Due to increasing oil prices and climate change concerns, biodiesel has gained attention as an alternative energy source. Biodiesel derived from microalgae is a potentially renewable and carbon–neutral alternative to petroleum fuels. One of the most important decisions in obtaining oil from...

To select microalgae with a high biomass, chlorophyll a, lipid, and fatty acid content of two mutants (LARB-202-2 and LARB-202-3) and their parent wild type of the unicellular green alga Nannochloropsis sp were cultured with air containing 1% CO2 for a week in 1L bubbled tubes with continuous...

We demonstrate a simple high-throughput single-cell approach that exploits the ultrahigh brightness and non-invasive nature of synchrotron infrared beam to characterize strains of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803 (S. 6803) constructed with altered metabolic traits affecting the acyl-CoA...
