Multi-product biorefinery from Arthrospira platensis biomass as feedstock for bioethanol and lactic acid production

Abstract With the aim to reach the maximum recovery of bulk and specialty bioproducts while minimizing waste generation, a multi-product biorefinery for ethanol and lactic acid production from the biomass of cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis was investigated. Therefore, the residual biomass resul...
