Abstract
⺠Microalgae can grow mixotrophically with substrates cheaper than glucose. ⺠Glycerol is convenient because is a byproduct of the transesterification reaction in biodiesel production. ⺠CO2 in excess increases autotrophic microalgae growth, but inhibits the use of organic substrates. ⺠During night-day light cycle, microalgae exploit glycerol overnight only if CO2 is not in excess. ⺠Glycerol stimulates a higher lipid accumulation.
