Global warming due to increased carbon dioxide concen?tration in the atmosphere is receiving a great deal of at?tention.Although CO2 is still released when fuels derived from 
algal biomass are burned, integration of microalgal farms 
for flue gas capture approximately doubles the amount of 
energy produced per unit of CO2 released.Such CO2 fixation by photo?autotrophic algal cultures has the potential to diminish 
the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, helping alleviate 
the trend toward global warming.Atmospheric increases of carbon dioxide are po?sitively correlated with the amount of fossil fuels being 
burned [1].Microalgae are the most promising production facilities.
