TY - JOUR AB - BackgroundLarge improvements in productivity are required to make massive scale biodiesel production from microalgae an economic reality. Although the maximum neutral lipid content of microalgae has received much attention as a target for optimization, there are other factors that are equally important. These are (1) the rates of accumulation of both biomass and lipids and (2) the maximum densities of algal cells that can be sustained in continuous cultivation. The combined effect of these factors for lipid production has not been thoroughly examined in Dunaliella species. Hence this study examines the rates of growth and lipid accumulation in Dunaliella salina using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) under several combinations of temperatures and cell densities.
