Abstract
  Biofuel production by a sustainable method using microalgae is entirely dependent on biomass production. However, commercialization at large scale using microalgae is a major obstacle using analytical grade growth nutrients, due to their cost effectiveness. Hence, development of a cost effective method ...  Read More
