Algal residue – an alternative carbon resource for pharmaceuticals and polyesters

Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology found that algal residue, the leftover material after extracting oil from algae for biofuel, can be used to produce key industrial chemicals. Microalgae have received much attention in biomass production due to many strains having a high biomass productivity per unit time and per unit area. Algae produce high Read more about Algal residue – an alternative carbon resource for pharmaceuticals and polyesters[…]
