Cryptococcus curvatus is a highly promising oleaginous yeast strain that can accumulate intracellular lipids when grown on renewable carbon sources. In order to convert yeast lipids to biodiesel in a simple but cost-effective way, we aim to react whole yeast cells with methanol to produce...

Oleaginous microbes which are surely one sustainable way of producing lipid in absolute need of reducing the substrate cost for the commercialization. In this study, algal biomass residue, which is a waste generated after the production of algae-based biofuel, was investigated for its...

In this study, the effects of enzymatic hydrolysis on lipid extraction from microalga (Chlorella vulgaris) were investigated prior to biodiesel production. The initial fatty acids content of C. vulgaris was 87.6 mg/g cell. The microalgal cell walls were hydrolyzed by cellulases and then their...
