An informatics-based analysis of developments to date and prospects for the application of microalgae in the biological sequestration of industrial flue gas
The excessive emission of flue gas contributes to air pollution, abnormal climate change, global warming, and sea level rises associated with glacial melting. With the ability to utilize NOx as a nitrogen source and to convert solar energy into chemical energy via CO2 fixation, microalgae can potentially reduce air pollution and relax global warming, while…

Microalgal biofuel revisited: An informatics-based analysis of developments to date and future prospects
Highlights Microalgal biofuel studies between 1900 and mid-2015 were analyzed informatically. Burst interest since 2006–2012 stimulated mass culture and biotechnology studies. Unremitting study and investment is expected for better understanding of microalgae. Integrated application of energy microalgae could be a possible solution. Recent advances of approaches to bypass the production bottleneck were reviewed. Abstract Microalgae…
