The concept of a biorefinery that integrates processes and technologies for biomass conversion demands efficient utilization of all components. Hydrothermal processing is a potential clean technology to convert raw materials such as lignocellulosic materials and aquatic biomass into bioenergy...

Increasing microalgal starch content by nutrient limitation has been regarded as an affordable approach for the production of third generation bioethanol. This work evaluated starch accumulation in Chlorella vulgaris P12 under different initial concentrations of nitrogen (0–2.2gureaL−1) and...
