sufficient to meet the energy demands, (4) provide a net energy gain over the energy sources used to produce it, and (5) also do not compete with food production [143]. Microbial oils fit these bills ...
), virgin oil versus waste oil, algae-based biodiesel that is gaining increasing importance, role of different catalysts including enzyme catalysts, and the current state-of-the-art in biodiesel production ...
feasibility of algae-based biodiesel calls for significant improvement of the technology that can supplant the conventional fossil fuels. For instance, large-scale algal cultivation in open raceway pond suffers ...
and water-users at serious risk [4, 5]. Despite being a major component of wastewater treatment, classical biological nutrient removal processes are energy -intensive and typically configured for optimal ...
like jatropha (estimated between US$350 and US$500/ton) is gaining interest. Algal biomass is also considered as a source of lipids for production of biodiesel , although it is generally related to third ...
the use of synthetic genes that are codon- optimized for expression in the algal host (Fuhrmann et al., 1999; Zaslavskaia et al., 2000; Purton et al. 2013). Table 2. Common marker and reporter genes used ...
, but this lipid accumulation decreases when cultivation conditions are optimized to increase biomass yield [76, 109, 124]. Microalgae contain primarily polar lipids such as phospholipids and glycolipids together ...
optimal wavelength induces trans-cis isomerization of retinal, which triggers a catalytic photocycle of conformational changes in the protein, resulting in the net import of one chloride per photon ...
Biological production of fatty acid (FA)-derived products has gained increasing attention to replace petroleum-based fuels and chemicals. FA biosynthesis is highly regulated, and usually ...
Abstract In view of the realization that fossil fuels reserves are limited, various options of generating energy are being explored. Biological methods for producing fuels such as ethanol, diesel ...
