Abstract
The importance of algae has increased with the search for renewable energy
sources. Algae can thrive and produce valuable products such as lipids (oils),
carbohydrates, proteins, and various feedstocks that can be converted into other
biofuels and useful materials. The oil produced is suitable for biodiesel with very
small modifications. The fatty acid composition is also suitable for production of
functional foods and feed, and as raw material for bioplastics and the biochemical
industry.
