A process for biodiesel production involving the heterotrophic fermentation of Chlorella protothecoides with glycerol as the carbon source

Oil-rich biomass has been produced from heterotrophic fed-batch and semi-continuous cultures of Chlorella protothecoides in conventional 2-L stirred-tank bioreactors (STBs). The process pH is controlled by injection of CO2 and pure glycerol is the main carbon source in the culture medium. Whereas a...
