The following text is modified from NCBI Bioproject https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/476562:

Auxenochlorella protothecoides is a freshwater microalga and produces large quantities of lipids. Auxenochlorella protothecoides can grow mixotrophically on simple sugars. A potential cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative is the utilization of raw or minimally-treated lignocellulosic feedstocks: trees, grasses, and agricultural residues. These feedstocks are expected to increase in abundance over time which would further lower cost.
