MDEA-assisted CO2 absorption coupled with IAA-induced metabolic regulation enhances lipid production and biodiesel quality in the oleaginous microalga Mychonastes rotundus.
Microalgae had high potential for CO2 fixation and lipid synthesis, and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) promoted the growth and antioxidant defense capability of microalgae. Nevertheless, sole IAA supplementation failed to suppress CO2 volatilization in the culture system or alleviate the bottleneck of insufficient carbon s...
