| Description | The aim of the presented research was application of optimized cultivation conditions for lipid production using the oleaginous microalga Chlorella pyrenoidosa Chick (IPPAS C2), followed by an assessment of the bioenergy potential of lipid rich biomass and biomethane production. The optimization of cultivation parameters led to an increase in lipid production. However, the high lipid content along with high calorific value indicated an increased bioenergy potential of microalgal biomass cultivated under the optimized cultivation parameters. |
