Comparative studies on the alcohol types presence in Gracilaria sp. and rice fermentation using Sasad
Alternative fuel sources such as biofuels are needed in order to overcome environmental problem caused by fossil fuel consumption. Currently, most biofuel are produced from land based crops and there is a possibility that marine biomass such as macroalgae can be an alternative source for biofuel pro...
