Title:
NOVEL STRAINS OF MICROALGAE OF THE BOTRYOCOCCUS GENUS, AND METHOD FOR CULTIVATING SAID MICROALGAE IN A MIXOTROPHIC MODE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/056187
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel strains of microalgae which belong to the Botryococcus genus and which can grow in a mixotrophic mode, as well as to a cultivation method which comprises providing light in the form of flashes for the production of lipids and hydrocarbons, in particular in the form of botryococcenes, which are useful in the production of biofuel.
