Dagli scarti lignocellulosici a prodotti di alto valore nutrizionale (Omega-3) e ambientale via microalghe - CENOMA
Abstract: The aim of this project is to develop fermentation processes for the production of omega-3 with microalgal strains capable of growing in heterotrophic conditions, using the carbohydrates of the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic residues, both of cellulose and hemicellulose (rich in xylose and not useful for 'Power supply). Furthermore, we intend to evaluate the use of microalgal waste (water-soluble component and wastewater), obtained after lipid extraction, as biopesticides in the agricultural sector.
