Bioprocessing of Microalgae for the Production of Value Compounds
Abstract
Microalgae are a potential important source for the production of value compounds. Temperature constitutes an important factor for microalgae cultivation. Bioprocessing of microalgae in terms of optimization of the cultivation conditions could increase the production of some target compounds that are accumulated under stress conditions. Bioprocess strategies for the accumulation of target compounds include nutrient starvation/limitation, or subjecting cells to any other cultivation condition that could act as stimulus. Microalgae are a group of photosynthetic aquatic species that display great potential as a new source of valuable compounds, such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, pigments, etc. Microalgae have significantly gained interest due to their potential as a new source of bio-based products. Bioprocessing of microalgae can lead to the accumulation of target metabolites, such as lipids, carbohydrates, pigments. Microalgal high-value products have good perspectives to form a market niche, and therefore there are research and engineering opportunities towards developing optimized cultivation systems for enhanced production of microalgal high-value products.

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.
