Chlorella vulgaris : a perspective on its potential for combining high biomass with high value bioproducts
Open accessAbstract
The depletion of fossil fuel reserves, concerns over global warming and the high demand for natural functional foods and products have valorized microalgae as an alternative renewable feedstock. Over the past few decades, extensive research has focussed on microalgae, driven by their increasing applications and future potential. Thus, this review reports on one of the most significant pioneer microalgae, Chlorella vulgaris Beyerinck. The value of and prospects for this microalga for various applications are presented in relation to its biochemical components. Since metabolic changes occur when microalgae are cultivated under different environmental conditions, an overview of the effects of some environmental parameters on C. vulgaris is presented with respect to biomass production enhancement along with the accumulation of molecules of interest while maintaining feasible production costs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
