Biochemical and Morphological Changes Triggered by Nitrogen Stress in the Oleaginous Microalga Chlorella vulgaris

Tan Liu et al.

Summary: Nitrogen limitation and starvation can increase the lipid content of microalgal cells but decrease biomass productivity, pigment concentration, and protein content. Three-day nitrogen starvation is a suitable strategy to produce lipid-rich biomass and causes changes in cell morphology. Saturated fatty acids dominate, making microalgae a potential feedstock for biodiesel production.

Algal biomass valorization for biofuel production and carbon sequestration: a review

Asma Sarwer et al.

Summary: The depletion of fossil fuels and the continuous increase in carbon dioxide concentrations have led to an energy crisis and environmental issues globally. Microalgal biofuels, produced using sunlight, water, and simple salt minerals, have the potential to be a key solution. Microalgae's high growth rate, photosynthesis, and ability to sequester carbon dioxide make them important biorefinery platforms. Additionally, their ability to produce high-value compounds under environmental stresses makes them a promising alternative to fossil fuels.
