Simultaneous production assessment of triacylglycerols for biodiesel and exopolysaccharides as valuable co-products in Navicula cincta

The marine benthic diatom Navicula cincta was cultured in order to evaluate its capacity to produce both neutral lipid-triacylglycerols (TAG) for biodiesel, and exopolysaccharides (EPS), as valuable co-products, under the same environmental conditions. The species was cultured without applying st…
