eng Abstract:
The aim of this work was to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch originating from microalgae (34.0 +/- 1.2% wt. starch in the dry algal biomass) grown on flue gas from waste incineration plant and to study the influence cell disintegration method on the yield of hydrolysis. Apart from the starch, the possibility of cellulose usage from microalgae cell wall as a further source of fermentable sugars was studied and preliminary results are presented.
