Abstract: Provided is a high throughput photobioreactor. The high throughput photobioreactor includes: a chamber; a plate installed in the chamber and mounted with a plurality of wells; a plurality of light sources installed in the chamber and irradiating light toward the plate; a light quantity controller positioned on an upper part of the plate to make quantities of light irradiated to the plurality of wells different; and a temperature controller controlling a temperature of the plate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Rhizobium sp. KB10 strain having properties of promoting growth of Botryococcus braunii, which is an alga capable of producing biodiesel, and also enhancing production performance of biodiesel. Mores specifically, it relates to novel Rhizobium sp. KB10 strain which has properties of promoting growth of Botryococcus braunii used for biodiesel production and also enhancing content of C18 (i.e., oleate) corresponding to high quality biodiesel component as much as 900%. By using root colonizing bacteria like Rhizobium, it is possible to promote effectively the slow cell growth of Botryococcus braunii and increase as much as possible the oleate amount, which is a high quality biodiesel component. Further, by carrying out mixture culture using such bacteria, problems associated with contamination by other microorganisms during a process of producing biodiesel by culture in an outside environment can be dramatically solved.

Abstract: Provided are a new microalgae strain and a use thereof, and more particularly, Ettlia sp. YC001 (KCTC 12109BP) having high carbon dioxide fixability, lipid productivity and carotenoid productivity, and a use thereof. The strain may be used for producing high quality biodiesel by controlling a lipid content and a composition ratio of a fatty acid according to culture conditions and/or culture time, and may be easily used for industrial uses, for examples, cosmetics, health foods, and medicines since large amounts of carotenoid and pigments are accumulated in cells.

Abstract: There is provided a method of producing biodiesel without drying and lipid component extraction steps in an alcohol-rich condition. Also, there is provided a method of effectively producing biodiesel without a catalyst under optimal conditions for transesterification. Production cost and time are reduced by reducing the number of processes, and biodiesel yield is increased.
