This study developed a laboratory-scale biofilm photobioreactor system for biofuel production and found that jute was the best material for biofilm formation. The study identified microalgae and yeast consortium as promising partners for biofilm formation, with the highest biomass yield, biomass productivity, and lipid content. This could lead to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel in the future.
Background: The current study aimed to develop a laboratory-scale biofilm photobioreactor system for biofuel production. Scope & Approach: During the investigation, Jute was discovered to be the best, cheap, hairy, open-pored supporting material for biofilm formation. Microalgae & yeast consortium was used in this study for biofilm formation. Conclusion: The study identified microalgae and yeast consortium as a promising choice and ideal partners for biofilm formation with the highest biomass yield (47.63 & PLUSMN; 0.93 g/m2), biomass productivity (4.39 & PLUSMN; 0.29 to 7.77 & PLUSMN; 0.05 g/m2/day) and lipid content (36%) over 28 days cultivation period, resulting in a more sustainable and environmentally benign fuel that could become a reality in the near future.
