Effect of light/dark cycle on biomass and lipid productivity by Chlorella pyrenoidosa using palm oil mill effluent (POME)

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is one of the waste water with highest organic content that could increase the formation of algal bloom. However, this can be taken to advantage in terms of extracting lipids from the microalgae which can be used as feedstock for biodiesel production. The light regimes...
