| Abstract | Economically feasible and sustainable energy production from microalgae requires optimization of algal growth, maximization of lipid content, and enhancement of biomass conversion into energy. An innovative, mixed trophic state process with high productivity was implemented to generate microalgae with high lipid content for generating biodiesel and biogas. Auxenochlorella protothecoides, a unicellular green alga, was grown phototrophically to 0.28 dry weight per L (gdw/L) then concentrated to 36 gdw/L for use as an inoculum for a subsequent heterotrophic cultivation to a final density of nearly 120 gdw/L. Simultaneous nitrogen deprivation and glucose supplementation during the heterotrophic stage increased the total lipid content from 16 to 57 % while the triacylglycerol (TAG) fraction of total lipids advanced from 2 to 79 %. Productivity peaked at 4.9 g of biomass/L-h and 1.7 g TAGs/L-h. The extracted lipids, including high levels of oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids, were converted into biodiesel with a predicted cetane number of 56.4 and low concentrations of long-chain saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters. Both intact microalgal biomass and lipid-extracted algal residues (LEA) were good substrates for anaerobic digestion (AD) with methane yields of 0.6 and 0.4 L/g volatile solids (VS), respectively. These yields represented nearly 80 % of theoretical methane potential. LEA, with a favorable carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N) of approximately 19:1, is an appropriate substrate for anaerobic microorganisms, most likely because it contains essential nutrients required for microbial digestion. The biochemical composition of the biomass, especially its lipid content, is the major contributor for energy output. As a result, coupling biodiesel production with AD of LEA to generate methane can increase the overall process’ energy output up to 40 %. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
