摘　　要：Microalgae,photosynthetic microorganisms present in most water,have been envisioned as future sources of renewable biofuel.Compared to current oil-producing feedstocks such as corn and soybean,microalgae are especially more attractive thanks to their significantly higher oil content.Microalgae also can be grown in wide ranges of water,and thus do not have to compete against food production requiring arable land.However,significant improvements are still required to make algalMicroalgae, photosynthetic microorganisms present in most water, have been envisioned as future sources of renewable biofuel. Compared to current oil-producing feedstocks such as corn and soybean, microalgae are especially more attractive thanks to their significantly higher oil content. Microalgae also can be grown in wide ranges of water, and thus do not have to compete against food production requiring arable land. However, significant improvements are still required to make algal biofuel commercially viable, such as developing better microalgal strains showing higher growth and higher oil production.
