“…Various cultivation methods of Chlorella pyrenoidosa on its growth, energetics and carbon metabolisms were described by Ogbonna et al (1998) [13] and Yang et al (2000) [14]. Heterotrophic production of Chlorella protothecoides on various nitrogen sources was studied by Shi et al (2000) [15]. While mentioned studies have been focused on the growth conditions of algal cells under cultivation method and chemical composition of algal biomass, there is still a lack of information about direct comparison and evaluation of amino acid contents in algal biomass of blue-green and green freshwater microalgae originating from various cultivation methods.…”

“…Glucose-grown microalgae showed higher growth rates compared to those grown on acetate and fructose [68]. The yield of lutein was found to be increased with the increase in glucose concentration in C. protothecoides [69]. However, under heterotrophic cultivation H. pluvialis grew very slowly and accumulated only 0.5% astaxanthin of dry weight biomass [70].…”

Cyanobacteria and microalgae have been cultivated only for a limited number of bioactive compounds or biotechnological applications such as for carotenoids; essential omega-3 fatty acids; phycobilipigments; live cells, unprocessed or minimally processed complete biomass as aqua feed, animal feed and human health supplements as rich sources of proteins, carbohydrates, pigments, vitamins and minerals. However, cyanobacteria and microalgae have been reported through several research investigations as a potential source for various bioactive molecules with marketable nutraceutical and pharmaceutical properties. Therefore, more cultivation of cyanobacteria and microalgae species are waiting for new biotechnological applications. At present, the global demand for microalgal applications is focused on biofuels including biodiesel and bioethanol apart from a handful (mentioned above) of bioactive compounds which are mostly used as nutraceuticals. Thus, microalgal biorefinery is growing rapidly for multiple commodities production from both conventional and photobioreactor-based cultivation for biomass feedstocks for various biotechnological applications. This review presents the cultivation aspects of selected cyanobacteria and microalgae for commercial purposes.

“…Nitrogen as one of the more important components affecting microalgae growth can be metabolised by algae via the absorption of nitrate, ammonia and urea (Christenson and Sims 2011;Shi et al 2000). Nitrate removal by alginateimmobilised C. sorokiniana at three different initial nitrate concentrations 20, 50 and 100 mg/L is shown in Fig.…”

“…The impact of the external carbon source on the removal of nitrate Microalgae require all three major nutrients for their growth: carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus (Christenson and Sims 2011;Shi et al 2000). Thus, in this paper, the potential usefulness of three natural carbon sources was studied: sucrose, grape juice and acacia honey.…”

The feasibility of alginate-immobilised Chlorella sorokiniana for nitrate and ammonium removal from drinking water in regard to carbon source effects was studied in this paper. Three different natural carbon sources were tested in batch experiments with nitrate as nitrogen source: sucrose, grape juice and acacia honey. The nitrate removal efficiencies achieved at 50 mg/L of initial nitrate concentration under sucrose, grape juice and acacia honey were 93, 99 and 94 %, respectively. At 100 mg/L of nitrate, comparable efficiencies were obtained after approximately 3 days, whilst for acacia honey at 50 mg/L, it took only 2 days of cultivation and 3 days for the other two carbon sources. Grape juice and acacia honey showed better performances than sucrose, which must be linked to their chemical compositions. The study of the impact of biosorbent quantity on nitrate removal efficiency showed that sufficient nitrate removal efficiencies could be achieved with a beads/water ratio of 1:6.7 (v/v) or smaller. In addition, the beads' ages significantly impacted the nitrate removal. The removal of ammonium was studied in the presence of nitrate with acacia honey as carbon source.At the highest concentrations being tested (ammonium-30 mg/L and nitrate-50 mg/L), ammonium was completely removed in \3 days and nitrate by 81 % in 4 days, whereby the suitable beads/water ratio was 1:5. The priority of ammonium assimilation was noticed when compared to nitrate. According to the results, the alginateimmobilised C. sorokiniana represents a promising tool for the removal of nitrogen from drinking water sources.
