Enhancing Biomass and Lipid Productivity of a Marine Microalga Tetraselmis sp. with Glycerol |
| 초록 |
Microalgae are one of the promising feedstocks for biodiesel production. During biodiesel production process from microalgae, glycerol is produced as a by-product from transesterification. As biodiesel production expands, global production of glycerol will continue to increase as well, which would reduce the price of glycerol to the point when selling glycerol is not profitable. In such case, utilization of glycerol for improved microalgal biomass and fatty acid production could be a solution. In this study, glycerol was added as a supplement to cultures of a marine microalga, Tetraselmis sp. KCT12432BP to investigate its effects on algal biomass and fatty acid production, Addition of glycerol improved biomass and fatty acid productivities by 36% and 56%, respectively. In the present study, microalgae could not consume all of the glycerol provided, and as the further study, the proper amount of glycerol supplement for efficient carbon utilization and improving biomass and fatty acids productivities will be investigated. |
