Culture aspects of Isochrysis galbana for biodiesel production

► We analyze the potential of an autochthon microalgae Isochrysis galbana for biodiesel production. ► The microalgae was cultivated in a raceway pond designed by the authors. ► The analysis of different cultivation parameters has been carried out. ► The results show that oil produced by I. galbana could be a suitable feedstock for biofuel production.
