Outline of Final Research Achievements

Decomposition of microalgae residue obtained after lipid was extracted microalgae was examined. Microalgae residue was decomposed by subcritical water and it was converted to amino acids and/or protein. In this study, Nannochloropsis oceania was employed as microalgae, and lipid was extracted liquefied dimethyl ether. By decomposition by subcritical water, maximum value of residue decomposed to protein was 21.5% of the residue. This result was implies that decomposition of microalgae residue has a potential to use the residue as nutrition resources to cultivate microalgae.
