A review on the sustainable procurement of microalgal biomass from wastewaters for the production of biofuels

Imania Ghaffar et al.

Summary: The feasibility of microalgal biomass as a promising and renewable source for biofuel production is extensively studied. Microalgal biomass can be cultivated under various conditions, including photoautotrophic, heterotrophic, photoheterotrophic, and mixotrophic cultivation. Mixotrophic cultivation shows higher biomass productivity and yields more polyunsaturated fatty acids compared to photoautotrophic cultivation. The use of industrial wastewaters for mixotrophic cultivation can reduce contaminants' load while producing productive microalgal biomass. This review focuses on sustainable cultivation of microalgae in different types of wastewaters.
