Abstract:
Microalgae cultivation and the use of the biomass obtained from microalgae, is the most promising technology for the production of second generation biofuel. The main advantages are a high synthesis efficiency of triglyceride that have a lipide concentration as high as 50% dry biomass, a short period of time for the microbial development, a full year productivity and the posibility of genetic manipulation of the cellular metabolism for the process optimisation. The microalgae cultivation for the biofuel production may be associated with other applications as: wastewater treatment, CO2 emission entrapment in thermalplants or biosynthesis of valuable compounds. The study of local strains potential in biofuel synthesis is the key elemnt for biofuel comercial production. The native strains present a good advantage besides import microalgae in manipulation, having the optimal conditions for development
