Abstract:Botryococcus sp. is an economically important microalgae as it contains carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and a number of phytochemicals. The high concentrations of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in this strain also a valuable source for production of biofuel. Mutagenic engineering using irradiation has been known to increase the content of these biomass. The aim of this study is to know the effect of electron-beam irradiation to the growth profile and fatty acid compositio… Show more
