    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Vita Xu; [2021]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; microalgae technology; algal biofuel; carbon capture; energy production;

    Abstract : Due to the increasing climate change concerns, biofuels have attracted more attention in the energy field as potential alternative energy sources. Particularly, microalgal biofuel has stood out because of its higher fuel yield potential and lower water and land demand than terrestrial biomass. READ MORE

  4. 18. Lipid content and profile of Rhodotorula toruloides during fermentation

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Khairul Kibria; [2021]
    Keywords : Rhodotorula toruloides; fatty acids; lipid class; triglycerides; phospholipid; gas chromatography;

    Abstract : Oleaginous yeast such as Rhodotorula toruloides is a promising organism for production of lipids from lignocellulosic substrates. Microbial lipids have potential applications in energy, food, feed and pharmaceutical industry, because most of the lipids are triglycerides with long chain fatty acids that are comparable to typical vegetable oils and can be obtained without arable land requirement.
