Nutrient limitation as a strategy for increasing starch accumulation in microalgae

Increasing microalgal starch content by nutrient limitation has been regarded as an affordable approach for the production of third generation bioethanol. This work evaluated starch accumulation in Chlorella vulgaris P12 under different initial concentrations of nitrogen (0–2.2 g urea L−1) and iron...
