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

Cell size and volume changed as a function of the type of resource limitation, with nitrogen-limited cells being smaller and less dense and phosphorus-limited cells being larger and more dense than non-limited cells. The major biochem. constituents of the green alga Ankistrodesmus falcatus varied as a function of nitrogen or phosphorus limitation (15% of maximum growth rate) compared to cells growing at their maximum rate. Nitrogen-limited cells had much lower protein content and phosphorus-limited cells had higher carbohydrate and lipid contents than cells growing under no limitation. Phosphorus-limited cells had a higher total lipid content than either nitrogen-limited or non-limited cells, but the lipid class composition was similar. The protein:lipid ratio was lowest (0.38) in the nitrogen-limited cells, intermediate in the phosphorus-limited cells (0.44) and highest in the non-limited control cells (1.14).<\/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":"
