Two-stage heterotrophic and phototrophic culture strategy for algal biomass and lipid production

► Develop a novel two-stage heterotrophic and phototrophic algae culture strategy. ► Investigate the growth kinetics of phototrophic and heterotrophic cultures. ► Reduce cost by using food waste and wastewater. ► Study performances of heterotrophic algal seed under phototrophic conditions. ► Control contamination with large volume inoculation of heterotrophic seeds.
