Commercializing products from microalgae lipids will require a
combination of cost-efficient harvesting and lipid extraction processes.
To reduce cost and energy input, lipid extraction should be performed
under mild conditions on wet microalgal biomass to eliminate expen-
sive drying processes. To this end, enzymatic microalgal cell wall
disruption method has been developed for lipid extraction, which is
advantageous over mechanical methods because of its high energy
