Particulate Size of Microalgal Biomass Affects Hydrolysate Properties and Bioethanol Concentration

Figure 2

Yield of bioethanol after 48 h fermentation of microalgal biomass with different particle sizes for both cases: (a) 35 μm ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 90 μm, (b) 125 μm ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 180 μm, and (c) 295 μm ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 425 μm (^∗Case 1: cellulase; ^∧Case2: cellulase + cellobiase).
