Abstract
The environmental impacts caused by gases emitted from burning fossil fuels and their manipulation, combined with rising fuel prices, has stimulated demand for new renewable resources and developing new green technologies that support the industry and market needs. Biofuels are non-toxic resources, biodegradable and renewable, but the current generation of biofuels has some disadvantages:…

Abstract
Several eukaryotic organisms have the ability to synthesize large quantities of oil in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs), which are stored in lipid bodies and can be used for the production of biodiesel. Among these organisms, a group that has been considered promising are the microalgae, which have a high natural capacity for lipid storage, high growth rate and tolerance to diverse env…
