Microalgae is one of the most promising sources of biofuel, but its high initial moisture content remains a hindrance to efficient lipid extraction. According to Halim, et al. (2011), the lipid yield of dried microalgae is 33% higher than wet microalgae using hexane extraction. In this study, Tetras...
