Insight review of attached microalgae growth focusing on support material packed in photobioreactor for sustainable biodiesel production and wastewater bioremediation

The suspended microalgal cultivation systems targeting the production of lipid for biodiesel is still unable to meet the commercial and economic feasibility due to high energy and cost inputs during the harvesting process. Currently, the attached microalgal cultivation systems are known as an innovative technology to resolve the problematic aspects of suspended cultivation as the biomass can be easily separated from the culture medium with...
