Pretreatment of sweet sorghum bagasse at 100°C at three lime doses (g per g bagasse), 0, 0.05, and 0.1; two water contents (ml per g bagasse), 7 or 10; and two treatment durations (h), 1 or 2 were evaluated. Composition analysis of pretreated samples revealed that the higher the lime dose, the...

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...
