Nitrogen-assisted lipid production by biofilms of aerial microalga Coccomyxa subellipsoidea KGU-D001 in the aerial phase.

The aerial microalga (Coccomyxa subellipsoidea KGU-D001) was photoautotrophically cultured under aerial phase conditions, and the influence of the nitrogen source on lipid production was investigated. Coccomyxa biofilms were introduced onto cotton wool using pure water (i.e.
