dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this work was to identify promising microalgal species and strategies of nitrogen deprivation that optimise lipid productivity for biodiesel production. This was carried out by I) developing the tools necessary to measure lipid productivity accurately, II) identifying and quantifying the key characteristics of promising microalgal strains, initially through a literature survey and then experimentally, and III) investigating the effect of different degrees of N limitation, and different N culture regimes, on cell physiology and lipid productivity in Chlorella vulgaris.en_ZA
