Abstract

Many microalgae, regardless of their origins, possess a similar biochemical composition (on a basis of total organic carbon in the cells), particularly the relative amounts of crude protein, lipid, and carbohydrate, when grown rapidly under favorable culture conditions. This default setting, however, can be readily changed by environmental factors to bestow maximum flexibility and robustness on microalgae to permit proliferation or survival in the changing environment. In this chapter, the effects of major environmental factors (light, temperature, nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, salinity, pH, etc.) on the biochemical composition of microalgae are described and the biotechnological implications are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
