Purification of Cellulose and Chitin Polymers and Other Value-Added Products from the Microalga Chlorella vulgaris Using a Green Biorefinery Process

Horst Pick, Christian Ludwig, Enio Daniel Zanchetta, Eya Nicodeme

Microalgae produce renewable biomass at high efficiency by using photosynthesis to capture the greenhouse gas CO2 from the atmosphere and releasing O2. Chlorella vulgaris is one of the most frequently cultivated unicellular green microalgae of commercial r ...
