Article Abstract
The purposes of this study were to find the optimum level of supplementing CO for increasing the biomass and hydrocarbon production of B. braunii KMITL 2 (A race) and to determine the effects of CO level on CO fixation and biodiesel properties. The experimental results showed that the alga supplemented with 10% CO produced the highest biomass (1.48±0.02gL) and CO fixation rate (100.43±1.42mgLd) that were 2.7 and 5.3 times higher than the control (0.04% CO). The gravimetric hydrocarbon content (36.82±3.39%) and hydrocarbon titer (0.35±0.03gL) of the alga supplemented with 5% CO were 1.6 and 2.7 times higher than the control. Cultivation of this strain under 5% CO gave the highest hydrocarbon yield and good biodiesel properties with the lowest iodine value and a higher CN value than the ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 fuel standards.

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons characterized by their stable chemical properties and multiple uses in the energy sector. Although alkanes are found in nature in various sources like natural gas and petroleum, microbial alkane production has become a promising way to develop sustainable biofuels. Alkanes are produced by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, and algae via particular metabolic pathways.

Non-invasive methods for observing the morphology of living oleaginous yeast are ideal for optimizing the production of various oils, such as food oils, oleochemicals, and biodiesel, from oleaginous yeast. However, existing methods have been developed to target budding yeast without high oil production ability and extract regions of entire cells. This study is the first to target oleaginous yeast, namely, Lipomyces starkeyi, demonstrating a method for extracting regions of L.
