Abstract

In this study, the bioelectrical power generation potential of four tropical marine microalgal strains native to Malaysia was investigated using BPV platforms. Chlorella UMACC 258 produced the highest power density (0.108 mW m-2), followed by Halamphora subtropica UMACC 370 (0.090 mW m-2), Synechococcus UMACC 371 (0.065 mW m-2) and Parachlorella UMACC 245 (0.017 mW m-2). The chlorophyll-a (chl-a) content was examined to have a linear positive relationship with the power density (p
