TY - JOUR AU - Rajendran, Aravindan AU - Hu, Bo PY - 2016 DA - 2016/05/31 TI - Mycoalgae biofilm: development of a novel platform technology using algae and fungal cultures JO - Biotechnology for Biofuels SP - 112 VL - 9 IS - 1 AB - Microalgae is considered a promising source for biofuel and bioenergy production, bio-remediation and production of high-value bioactive compounds, but harvesting microalgae is a major bottleneck in the algae based processes. The objective of this research is to mimic the growth of natural lichen and develop a novel biofilm platform technology using filamentous fungi and microalgae to form a lichen type of biofilm “mycoalgae” in a supporting polymer matrix.
