Title:
ENHANCED LIPID PRODUCTION BY ALGAE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/005209
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for efficient production of triglycerides by microalgae, useful as a source for biodiesel. Particularly, the present invention discloses the use of cytochrome oxidase inhibitor to induce triglyceride accumulation while maintaining high growth rate, resulting in high triglyceride yield.
