- Abstract
The Galdieria sulphuraria (unicellular red microalgae) is capable of growth under extreme environments such as hot habitats with low acidity. Moreover, G. sulphuraria potentially might be used in the biofuel production, wastewater remediation and high-value products. It can grow autotrophicall, mixotrophically, and heterotrophically on a variety of carbon sources. In the current research, the content and compositions of neutral and polar lipids, fatty acids and metabolites are determined under different carbohydrate supplementation. The outcome of such research is beneficial for understanding the carbon metabolism of this alga under varying carbon sources and to evaluate cellulosic hydrolysates as a source of low-cost carbon for mixotrophic cultivation.
