Effects of acids pre-treatment on the microbial fermentation process for bioethanol production from microalgae

Abstract Background Microalgae are one of the promising feedstock that consists of high carbohydrate content which can be converted into bioethanol. Pre-treatment is one of the critical steps required to release fermentable sugars to be used in the microbial fermentation process. In this study, the...
