<\/a>Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chlorella sorokiniana was cultured in heterotrophic or mixotrophic mode in outdoor enclosed tubular photobioreactor. The culture temperature was maintained at 32\u201335 \u00b0C. At night, theChlorella culture grew heterotrophically, and 0.1 M glucose was completely consumed. The biomass growth yield of glucose was 0.35 \u00b1 0.001 g-biomass g-glucose\u20131. During the day, the algal culture grew mixotrophically and the biomass growth yield was 0.49 g-biomass g-glucose\u20131 in low density culture (initial biomass concentration, Xo = 2 g l\u20131), 0.56 g-biomass g-glucose\u20131 in medium density culture (Xo = 4 g l\u20131) and 0.46 g-biomass g-glucose\u20131 in high density culture (Xo = 7 g l\u20131). The daily area productivity of the culture, with Xo = 4 g l\u20131 corresponded to 127 g-biomass m\u20132 d\u20131 during the day and 79 g-biomass m\u20132 d\u20131 during the night. In all the cultures, the dissolved O2 concentration increased in the morning, reached the maximum value at noon, and then decreased in the afternoon. The dissolved CO2 concentration remained at 3 mBar in the morning and increased in the afternoon. Glycolate was not found to accumulate in culture medium.<\/p>\n

Key words mixotrophic – photosynthetic – Chlorella – outdoor culture – enclosed photoreactor<\/p>\n

About Oilgae – Oilgae – Oil & Biodiesel from Algae<\/a><\/b> has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally formed from algae – among other related plants – you think “Hey! Why not oil again from algae!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
