SEM and Raman Spectroscopy Applied to Biomass Analysis for Application in the Field of Biofuels and Food Industry

Original language description

A biomass of algal (Trachydiscus minutus, Botryococcus sudeticus, and Chlamydomonas sp.) and red yeast strains (Rhodotorula spp., Cystofilobasidium spp. and Sporobolomyces spp.) has been studied due to their potential applications in the field of biofuelgeneration and food industry. In order to utilize biomass for efficient industrial production, the optimal cultivation parameters have to be determined which in turn lead to high production of desired substances such as oil and carotenoids in the selected cell line [2]. Main aim of our investigations was to study ? using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy techniques ? how different cultivation conditions influence production of oil and carotenoids. Raman spectroscopy can be usedfor the determination of the oil present in the biomass and also for the determination of carotenoids as the intensity ratios of specific, selected Raman bands. SEM uses electron beams to gain information about morphology of cells (biomas
