Sugarcane is an eco-friendly option for the improved production of biomass in marine algae

Taiwanese and Vietnamese researchers tested hydrolized sugarcane bagasse as a carbon-rich substrate for Schizochytrium microalgae. They wanted to determine if sugarcane bagasse is an inexpensive means of boosting the biomass and lipids produced by the microalgae, which are being considered for use in the production of biofuel. The study was supported by Ton Duc Thang University and […]
