Abstract
This review describes compounds produced microalgae, such as biodiesel, lipids, fatty acids (FA), triacylglycerides (TAG), and pigments (phycobilins, chlorophylls, and carotenoids). We discuss the factors inducing the accumulation of these metabolites and their economic importance. We focused on cell wall breaking methods of microalgae used to produce biodiesel. A special approach was made to extremophile microalgae used in biodiesel production. The type of methodology used in the cultivation and the use of extremophiles microalgae can permit feasible biodiesel production.
