Abstract
Stress Biology in Microalgae Depicts Molecular Insights for Simultaneous Production of Lipids and High Value Precursors
Highlights
40-50% of total global photosynthesis occurring on earth is primarily due to the presence of these algal populations [1]
Microalgae have been identified as a viable feedstock for biofuels due to their efficient capabilities to convert sunlight and CO2 to biomass, can thrive in fresh to saline waters, and the ability to grow on non‐arable lands that has led their path towards the replacement of fossil fuels with sustainable renewable biofuels pertaining to ever increasing energy demands [2]
Two freshwater microalgal strains were used in this study namely Chlorella sp and Tetraselmis sp procured from Institute of bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), Impala, Manipur, India
Summary
40-50% of total global photosynthesis occurring on earth is primarily due to the presence of these algal populations [1]. Microalgae have been identified as a viable feedstock for biofuels due to their efficient capabilities to convert sunlight and CO2 to biomass (which is of great importance for the feed, fuel and chemical industries), can thrive in fresh to saline waters, and the ability to grow on non‐arable lands that has led their path towards the replacement of fossil fuels with sustainable renewable biofuels pertaining to ever increasing energy demands [2]. Microalgae biofuels are considered as one of the viable alternative sources of energy as they are renewable, sustainable and environmental-friendly and reconstruction of these metabolic pathways for increasing oil content is foreseen as a niche in algal biology [6]
