Two-stage photobioreactor cultivation for enhancing lipid production from diatom cells by controlled silicon limitation

Creator:

Rosenberger, Jennifer L.

Abstract:

There is significant interest in utilizing microalgae as a source for biofuels. Diatoms are a class of single-celled microalgae which make silica cell walls and require dissolved silicon as a substrate for cell division. Manipulation of soluble silicon delivery to the culture offers a route to control cell cycle and...
