title: Biochemical composition of green alga Chlorella minutissima in mixotrophic cultures under the effect of different carbon sources.
abstract: Mixotrophic growth of Chlorella minutissima with carbon supplements such as glucose, glycerol, succinate, molasses and press mud resulted in maximum biomass accumulation in glucose supplemented culture. Lipid content was maximum with molasses followed by press mud, fatty acid compositions of which also were best suited for biodiesel production.
