Abstract

The microalgal biotech sector began in the 1940s, where the first modern attempts to grow microalgae focused on finding alternative sources of chemicals for use in munition manufacturing and fuels during World War II, by examining the production of lipids by various microalgae (Harder and Witsch 194...
