Microalgas as bioenergetics object

IBASU-A collection species - perspective producers of biomass as the source of raw stuff for biofuel

Abstract

The screening of microalgas cultures collection of Mykola H. Kholodnyj Botanic institute of Ukrainian NAS (IBASU-A) is hold in regard to species hyperproducting biomass as the raw stuff for biofuel. From genera Acutodesmus (E. Hegew.) P. Tsarenko, Desmodesmus (Chodat) An et al., Botryococcus Kütz., Chloroidium Nadson, Chlorella Beijer., Monoraphidium Komárk.-Legn., Parachlorella Krienitz et al., Euglena Ehrenb. 18 species (33 breeds) are chosen. The algas’ ability to accumulate a significant number of lipins, high productiveness of cultures, their durability to stress factors and biology contamination were the choice criteria. That collection is a base for further biotechnology studies.
