  • HETEROTROPHIC ALGAL HIGH CELL DENSITY PRODUCTION METHOD AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20090209014
    Abstract: A multiphase culturing process for high density heterotrophic microalgal growth uses crude glycerol as the primary carbon source and produces ?-3 fatty acids. The process uses multiphase growth conditions that decouple the phases of increasing cell density and increasing cell size and fatty acid production. The entire process is integrated with biodiesel production.
