Lipid Productivity Of Chlorella pyrenoidosa In A Customized Lab Scale Photobioreactor Under Stress Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lab scale studies were conducted in a customized photobioreactor to assess the lipid productivity of Chlorella pyrenoidosa under fed-batch mode using 0.025g/l to 0.1 g/l urea and sodium nitrate as nitrogen source in nutrient medium. The light intensities used were 100 μmol ms and 135 μmol ms. The results indicated maximum lipid productivity of 0.103 g/d.l in BG11 medium with 0.1g/l sodium nitrate in fed batch mode at 135 μmol ms whilst 0.1 g/l urea under same conditions has resulted in 0.083g/d.l of lipid productivity. Hence the study demonstrated that sodium nitrate under fed batch mode of cultivation is most suitable for lipid productivity of C.pyrenoidosa under high light intensities.

The aim of the present work was to statistically design an autotrophic medium for maximum biomass production by Chlorella pyrenoidosa using response surface methodology. After evaluating one factor at a time approach, K2HPO4, KNO3, MgSO4.7H2O and NaHCO3 were preferred over the other components of the fog’s medium as most critical autotrophic medium components. The study showed that the maximum ...
متن کاملChlorella for protein and biofuels: from strain selection to outdoor cultivation in a Green Wall Panel photobioreactor
BACKGROUND Chlorella is one of the few microalgae employed for human consumption. It typically has a high protein content, but it can also accumulate high amounts of lipids or carbohydrates under stress conditions and, for this reason, it is of interest in the production of biofuels. High production costs and energy consumption are associated with its cultivation. This work describes a strategy...
