Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how small doses of UV-C radiation can trigger oil synthesis in the diatom Fistulifera solaris.
- A significant increase in oil content was observed within 6 to 24 hours after exposure, with oil volumes rising by 4 to 6 times.
- The research also found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by UV-C played a key role in this oil accumulation process, indicating that UV-C radiation could be an effective method to boost biodiesel production.
Peptide-mediated microalgae harvesting method for efficient biofuel production.
Biotechnol Biofuels
January 2016
Background: Production of biofuels from microalgae has been recognized to be a promising route for a sustainable energy supply. However, the microalgae harvesting process is a bottleneck for industrialization because it is energy intensive. Thus, by displaying interactive protein factors on the cell wall, oleaginous microalgae can acquire the auto- and controllable-flocculation function, yielding smarter and energy-efficient harvesting.
