Integrated biomolecular and bioprocess engineering strategies for enhancing the lipid yield from microalgae

Algal biofuels have received wide attention in recent years for its potential to reduce the dependence on conventional fossil fuels. Despite the portrayed advantages of high growth rate, carbon sequestration and waste remediation; large scale application of microalgal biofuels is still lacking becau...
