| Research Abstract |
Effects of organic and inorganic sources on biofuel production from microalgae were examined under photoautotrophic conditions. The growth rate and fatty acid production were regulated by dissociation of inorganic carbon and metal ions for using a new LED culture system. In supercritical fluid extraction with inert gas entrainer, carotenoids were separated from xanthophylls.
