Biorefinery potential of Coelastrella biomass for fuel and bioproducts—a review

Indigenous microalgae strains characterization for a sustainable biodiesel production

“…[ 41 ] Local isolated Chlorella vulgaris showed a lipid content of 18.57% in nitrogen‐limited digestate effluent (25 mg NH 4 ‐N/L, pH 7.8) at stationary phase (24 th day of cultivation), with a FAs composition dominated by the C18:2, C18:1, C16:0, compared to a lipid content of 10% DW for Chlorella vulgaris SAG 211/11b. [ 42 ] Lipids content for Coelastrella genus is ranging from 17.02 to 26.47% DW [ 43 ] and it could reach‐up to 50%DW under N and P starvation, indicating its potential as a lipid‐yielding strain.

Photoautotrophic microorganisms from mangroves: a review of the ecological role and bioproducts of commercial interest

“…The products derived from these microorganisms can be used to meet different demands, such as human and animal food, through proteins, vitamins, lipids, and carbohydrates, for example, in addition to energy generation through biofuels such as bioethanol and biodiesel, obtained from carbohydrate and lipids accumulated by these microorganisms, respectively. High‐value‐added products such as antioxidants, antimicrobial compounds, antitumor compounds, and pigments have also been employed widely in the medical, pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical, and nutraceutical industries 4,6,15,16 …”

“…Given this scenario, the bioprospection of microalgae and cyanobacteria is essential for the research and development of new products with high potential and added value 15 . These microorganisms are very common in mangroves all over the planet, representing approximately 7% of the microbial biomass in mangroves in tropical areas 17 .…”
