Abstract: Utilizing industrial off-gas CO2 in open system photosynthetic microalgae cultivation is a biological means to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The captured CO2 can also enhance production of microalgal lipids for conversion into biodiesel. However, environmental stressors such as temperature, pH, luminosity, salinity, metal toxicity, nutrient availability, and shear stress can impact the CO2 fixation process and lipid biosynthesis.
