To extract lipids from wet microalgae through cell disruption, the effects of microwave treatment on the dynamic cell wall microstructures were investigated. The fractal dimension of raw, untreated microalgal cells was 1.46. The disruption level of microalgal cell walls was enhanced when microwave treatment temperature increased from 80 to 120 degrees C, resulting in an increase in microalgal cell fractal dimension from 1.61 to 1.91. The cell wall thickness and pore diameters in cell walls increased from 0.11 to 0.59 mu m and from 0.005 to 0.18 mu m, respectively, when microwave treatment time increased from 0 to 20 min. The outer pectin layers of cell walls gradually detached and the porosity of inner cellulose layers increased when microwave treatment time increased to 26 min. The initial point of disruption appeared at the maximum curvature (approximately 1.01 x 10(7) m(-1)) of cell walls. Numbers of short-chain and saturated lipids increased because of microwave electromagnetic effect. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
