Enhanced lipidic algae biomass production using gas transfer from a fermentative Rhodosporidium toruloides culture to an autotrophic Chlorella protothecoides culture

The CO2 bio-fixed by the microalgal biomass reached an estimated value of 29 mg L−1 h−1 in the VAP receiving the gas stream from the fermenter, a value 1.9 times higher than that measured in the control VAP.
