“…The oxygenic compounds were mainly fatty acids and their methyl ester, as well as small amount of heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen. And the components of the bio-oils were similar to those reported by other authors (Lorenzetti et al, 2016;Zeng et al, 2015).…”

“…The low values for O/C and N/C molar ratios indicated that some nitrogen and oxygen were removed in the form of CO, CO 2 and NH 3 (Aysu and Sanna, 2015;Cao et al, 2013) during the catalytic pyrolysis. The O/C molar ratio of the bio-oil with MgAl4-LDO/ZSM-5 was apparently lower than that with HZSM-5 which was reported by Zeng et al (2015). And the N/C molar ratio (0.128) were comparable to Zeng's result (0.119) (2015).…”

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microorganisms which can be found in various environmental habitats. These photosynthetic bacteria are considered as promising feedstock for the production of the third‐ and the fourth‐generation biofuels. The main subject of this review is highlighting the significant aspects of the biofuel production from cyanobacteria. The most recent investigations about the extraction or separation of the bio‐oil from cyanobacteria are also adduced in the present review. Moreover, the genetic engineering of cyanobacteria for improving biofuel production and the impact of bioinformatics studies on the designing better‐engineered strains are mentioned. The large‐scale biofuel production is challenging, so the economic considerations to provide inexpensive biofuels are also cited. It seems that the future of biofuels is strongly dependent to the following items; understanding the metabolic pathways of the cyanobacterial species, progression in the construction of the engineered cyanobacteria, and inexpensive large‐scale cultivation of them.

“…RAQUEL S. CORDEIRO et al Cyanobacteria are photosynthesizing, ancient and thriving microorganisms (gram-negative) (Gademann andPortmann 2008, Mukherjee et al 2013). These organisms produce a vast array of metabolites, such as proteins, carbohydrates, carotenoids, vitamins and lipids, which can be used as food sources for humans and animals, in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products and to produce energy (Parmar et al 2011, Kaiwan-arporn et al 2012, Borowitzka and Moheimani 2013, Zeng et al 2015.…”

The present study evaluated the effects of the culturing media and the levels of nitrogen and phosphorus on the growth, biomass productivity and lipid production of four species of Microcystis (M. novacekii, M. aeruginosa, M panniformis and M. protocystis). The lipid extract was obtained by refluxing with dichloromethane (Soxhlet). The biomass and biomass productivity yields were maximized with ASM-1 medium treatment enriched with nitrogen and/or phosphorus (0.25-0.65 g/L and 25-50.7 mg/L d-1 , respectively). The lipid extract yields from M. panniformis and M. novacekii were inversely correlated with the concentration of nitrogen and directly correlated with the concentration of phosphorus (35.8 % and 31.7 %). The lipid extract yield from M. aeruginosa was inversely correlated with the nutrient concentration (23.3 %). M. protocystis exhibited a higher lipid content in the control medium (41.5 %) than in the nitrogen-enriched media. The recorded results show that a nutrient-poor culture medium favours cell growth and stimulates lipid accumulation, which directly affects the cost of cultivation by reducing nutrient consumption. All studied species may serve as biomass sources for biodiesel production, although M. protocystis exhibited the highest lipid production. Further studies are necessary to determine the composition of the recorded lipid extract.
