Biostimulation of green microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana using nanoparticles of MgO, Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)_2, and ZnO for increasing biodiesel production.

ABSTRACT: Microalgae have the potential to become the primary source of biodiesel, catering to a wide range of essential applications such as transportation. This would allow for a significant reduction in dependence on conventional petroleum diesel. This study investigates the effect of biostimulation techniques utilizing nanoparticles of Magnesium oxide MgO, Calcium hydroxyapatite Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂, and Zinc oxide ZnO to enhance the biodiesel production of Chlorella sorokiniana. By enhancing cell activity, these nanoparticles have demonstrated the ability to improve oil production and subsequently increase biodiesel production. Experimentally, each nanomaterial was introduced at a concentration of 15 mg L^-1. The results have shown that MgO nanop
