Biomass, Lipid Yield Improvements: The Digest’s 2021 Multi-Slide Guide to Leveraging Algae for Fuels

Did you know that adding plant substrate to some algae strains (not all!) can result in improved biomass and/or lipid production? That’s what Amanda Barry from Sandia National Labs reported in this slide guide on their investigation of top contender algae strains for large-scale biofuel production. See how scale up and optimization of mixotrophic growth on plant substrates demonstrate biomass and/or fuel yield improvement of 15% versus baseline (algae and plant alone).
