Optimization of lipids’ ultrasonic extraction and production from Chlorella sp. using response-surface methodology

摘要

BackgroundThree steps are very important in order to produce microalgal lipids: (1) controlling microalgae cultivation via experimental and modeling investigations, (2) optimizing culture conditions to maximize lipids production and to determine the fatty acid profile the most appropriate for biodiesel synthesis, and (3) optimizing the extraction of the lipids accumulated in the microalgal cells.
