Microalgae cultivation for biofuels production and other applications has gained considerable interest recently. Despite their simple structures, microalgae can accumulate significant amounts of neutral lipids per dry cell weight compared to other energy crops. Neochloris oleoabundans is a promising microalga known for its high lipid content and biomass growth rate compared to other species cultivated for biofuels synthesis; therefore, it is considered as a suitable candidate for biodiesel synthesis. This review paper covers several key aspects associated with the cultivation and applications of the microalga N. oleoabundans. Biomass composition, factors affecting the growth, and biomass and lipid productivities of this species were addressed. In addition, different growth conditions as well as alternative readily available nutrient media to support the growth of N. oleoabundans were presented in this review.
