“…Feng et al reported that Chlorella vulgaris cultures achieved the highest lipid content (42.00%) [1]. Tang et al found lipid content was 35.3% before N-depleted medium cultivation and up to 50% after N-deprived medium cultivation in Chlorella minutissima [39].…”

“…Microalgae can transform carbon dioxide from the air and light energy through photosynthesis to various forms of chemical energy such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and hydrocarbons [2]. As a result, microalgae have been studied as alternative feedstock for biodiesel production [1]. Microalgal biodiesel is environmentally advantageous in that it is a carbon neutral fuel due to the photosynthetic fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide having properties similar to those of petrodiesel [4].…”

Abstract:The impacts of laser radiation (Nd: YAG laser, 1064 nm at 800 mW, He-Ne laser 808 nm at 6 W, semiconductor laser 632.8 nm at 40 mW) on growth and lipid accumulation of Chlorella pacifica were investigated in this study. The results showed growth rates increased 1.23, 1.41, and 1.40-fold over controls by 4 min Nd: YAG, 4 min He-Ne, and 8 min semiconductor laser treatments, respectively, whereas the corresponding nitrate reductase observed increased 1.25, 1.63, and 2.08-fold over controls. Moreover, total chlorophyll concentration was increased to 1.09, 1.29, and 1.33-fold over controls, respectively. After 20 days cultivation, the highest lipid content was 35.99%, 18.46%, and 31.00% after 2 min Nd: YAG, 4 min He-Ne, and 4 min semiconductor laser treatments, corresponding to 2.86, 1.50, and 2.46-fold increase over controls, respectively. Furthermore, the lipid productivity of the above 3 treatments were 15.25 ± 2.56, 16.25 ± 2.45, and 14.75 ± 2.11 mg L −1 d −1 . However, the highest lipid productivity was 22.00 ± 3.28, 16.25 ± 2.45, and 19.25 ± 1.78 mg L −1 d −1 , in response to treatment for 2 min Nd: YAG, 1 min He-Ne, and 4 min semiconductor laser treatments, with 2.67, 1.97, and 2.33-fold increase over controls, respectively. These results indicated that lipid accumulation efficiency of C. pacifica could be significantly improved by laser irradiation using Nd: YAG, He-Ne, and semiconductor laser treatments.

Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the response of Microcystis aeruginosa and Scenedesmus obliquus to incubation at temperatures of 15 C, 25 C, and 35 C over 15 days. The relationships between chlorophyll a (Chla) concentration, phytoplankton density, and absorption coefficients, a ph (λ) and Chla-specific absorption coefficients, a Ã ph ðλÞ were determined. Multivariate linear models were developed that included the maximum photosynthetic efficiency of photosystem II F v /F m and Chla concentration, phytoplankton density, and a ph (λ), a Ã ph ðλÞ. The differences in a ph (λ) and a Ã ph ðλÞ between the two species and their responses to temperature were determined. At 25 C, the phytoplankton density and Chla concentration of both species increased gradually during the whole experiment. However, at 15 C, M. aeruginosa was inhibited by the low temperature and at 35 C the photosynthesis of S. obliquus was disrupted. For both species, phytoplankton density and Chla concentration had significant positive correlations with a ph (440) and a ph (675) at different temperatures, while there were significant negative correlations between Chla concentration and a

Bicarbonate source for cultivation of microalgae is an alternate method mainly to avoid CO 2 loss. The main aim of the work is to assess the bio-fixation ability of CO 2 from ammonium bicarbonate by Chlorella pyrenoidosa under mixotrophic condition. Furthermore, statistical optimization has been carried out to study the influence of pH, concentration and inoculum size and identify best conditions for CO 2 removal. The results revealed that maximum removal of CO 2 was obtained at pH 6.0; with ammonium bicarbonate concentration, 6.66 g LG 1 and inoculum size, 36.81%. The obtained results were statistically analyzed and the results were obtained with regression co-efficient R 2 value of 0.94 for CO 2 removal and 0.86 for corresponding chlorophyll content. From the study, it can be concluded that microalgae could able to grow in ammonium bicarbonate source which indicates that microalgae could assimilate ammonium and CO 2 in to their cells even at high concentration. Bicarbonate captured CO 2 proves to be a significant method for cultivation of microalgae supports commercial production.
