Effects of salinity on growth and lipid accumulation of biofuel microalga Nannochloropsis salina and invading organisms

Mass production of microalgae is currently limited by existing cultivation strategies, which rely heavily on open cultivation systems. Increasing lipid production in these systems while minimizing the invasion of non-target algae (competitors) and grazers (predators) will improve the economic viabil...
