The impact of nitrogen starvation on the dynamics of triacylglycerol accumulation in nine microalgae strains.
Microalgae-derived lipids are an alternative to vegetable and fossil oils, but lipid content and quality vary among microalgae strains. Selection of a suitable strain for lipid production is… Expand
