The use of diluted wastewaters increases the fraction of the
organic compounds (TOC, total phenols, and proteins) removed,
although the kinetics of the biomass growth is slower. The lipid
concentration (between 20 and 30%) in the microorganisms
increases in the course of the OMW treatment, particularly in
the presence of the preliminary diluted feedstock. The fatty acids
distribution demonstrates the usability of the lipids accumulated
in theL. starkeyias feedstock for biodiesel synthesis.
