The Role of Mathematical Modeling and Genetic Engineering for the Microalgae Based Technology

Abstract

Some recent achievements in the field of mathematical modeling and silmulation of CO2 capture and biofuels production through microalgae are presented in this paper. Morevoer, the role of genetic engineering, with a focus on the research activity currently being performed and its future developments, is also discussed. Finally, recent results related to the genetic characterization of chloroplast and mitohondrial DNAs of Chlorella sorokiniana, are presented.
