Abstract
Green microalgae (Chlorophytes) are thought to be the most efficient organisms for biofuel production. However, their potential has not been fully realized. Large-scale production of algal biofuels is not sustainable with current algal strains and cultivation technologies. In this manuscript, I discuss the rationale of research approaches focused on domestication that we are about to take and some major issues need to be resolved for algal biofuel production.
