Isolation and identification of chlorella-like species for potential application in biofuel production

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the study of microalgae for the development of biofuel, a renewable energy source. It is known that microalgae is able to accumulate lipid, thus hold great potential as biofuel feedstock. This project aimed to isolate and study Chlorella-like...
