Abstract Depleting global petroleum reserves and skyrocketing prices coupled with succinct supply have been a grave concern, which needs alternative sources to conventional fuels. Oleaginous microalgae have been explored for enhanced lipid production, leading towards biodiesel production. These microalgae have short life cycles, require less labor, and space, and are easy to scale up. Triacylglycerol, the primary source of lipids needed to produce biodiesel, is accumulated by most microalgae. The article focuses on different types of oleaginous microalgae, which can be used as a feedstock to produce biodiesel. Lipid biosynthesis in microalgae occurs through fatty acid More >
