Effect of carbon sources on growth and lipid accumulation of newly isolated microalgae cultured under mixotrophic condition

Lin, Tse-Shih, Wu, Jane-Yii·2015·Bioresource Technology

Abstract

In order to produce microalgal lipids that can be transformed to biodiesel fuel, one isolate with high lipid content was identified as Chlorella sp. Y8-1. The growth and lipid productivity of an isolated microalga Chlorella sp. Y8-1 were investigated under different cultivation conditions, including autotrophic growth (CO2, with light), heterotrophic growth (sucrose, without light) and mixotrophic growth (organic carbon sources and CO2, with light). Mixotrophic Chlorella sp. Y8-1 showed higher lipid content (35.5±4.2%) and higher lipid productivity (0.01 g/L/d) than Chlorella sp. Y8-1 cultivated under autotrophic and heterotrophic conditions on modified Walne medium. Fatty acid analysis of Chlorella sp. Y8-1 showed the major presence of palmitic acid (C16:0), oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid (C18:2) and linolenic acids (C18:3). The main fatty acid compositions of the Chlorella sp. Y8-1 are appropriate for biodiesel production.

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.
