Direct and highly productive conversion of cyanobacteria Arthrospira platensis to ethanol with CaCl2 addition

Abstract Background The cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis shows promise as a carbohydrate feedstock for biofuel production. The glycogen accumulated in A. platensis can be extracted by lysozyme-degrading the peptidoglycan layer of the bacterial cell walls. The extracted glycogen can be converted...
