Abstract:The use of food‐based biomass and arable land for bio‐oil and biofuel production could compromise global food security. Therefore, renewable and environmentally friendly oils for biofuels from oleaginous microorganisms such as yeasts and microalgae (heterotrophic and mixotrophic) are gaining interest within the scientific community. These microorganisms have shorter cultivation times and higher lipid productivity when compared to higher plants/food crops/autotrophic microorganisms. Despite many advantages, the… Show more
