From 200 000 to
several millions of microalgae species are estimated, greater than
terrestrial species, estimated about 250 000 species ; such
underexploited diversity offers a interesting potential for research
and industrial applications. Compared to terrestrial oleaginous
species, these microalgae share many advantages for lipids production:
- Highest growth yield and areal productivity
- Highest photosynthetique yield
- Specific fatty acids synthetis is enhanced by a pronounced metabolic plasticity
- Nutrients recycling
- No plant protection product required
- Valuable subproducts
- The technology can be implemented in developing countries
