Simultaneous saccharification of cassava starch and fermentation of algae for biodiesel production

Simultaneous saccharification of cassava starch and fermentation of algae for biodiesel production: "

Abstract
A simpler approach to produce biodiesel from cassava starch was established, which successfully integrates the simultaneous
saccharification and heterotrophic algal fermentation in an identical system. Batch experiments were investigated to verify
the feasibility of raw starchy substrates fermentation for microalgal oil. The highest cell density (49.34 g L−1) and oil content (54.60%) were obtained in 5-L fed-batch cultivation via simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF).
It is demonstrated that the previous multistep hydrolysis and fermentation for feedstock oil could be replaced by SSF with
higher energy efficiency and lower facility costs.
