Effect of nitrogen concentration on the growth rate and biochemical composition of the microalga, Isochrysis galbana
Open accessAbstract
Nitrogen represents a critical macronutrient that regulates the metabolism and consequently, the growth and biochemical composition of microalgae. In this study, the effect of different nitrogen concentrations (0, 36, 72, 144 and 288 mg/L) on the growth rate and biochemical composition of Isochrysis galbana was investigated. Cell growth, pigments and protein content of I. galbana biomass decreased with diminishing nitrogen concentration; while carbohydrates showed the highest value, 47%, in case of total nitrogen deprivation. Poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) increased five-fold under sufficient nitrogen concentrations (72 mg/L), compared to nitrogen deprivation. In contrast, concentration of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), 75.79% under nitrogen deprivation, was higher than in case of nitrogen sufficiency, 36.63%. The highest carbohydrate, protein and lipid productivities observed were 156.7, 326.2 and 264.6 mg/L under nitrogen concentrations of 72, 0 and 72 mg/L, respectively. The results of this study indicate that nitrogen concentration significantly affects the growth and biochemical compositions of I. galbana.

The maximum nitrogen content in the modified media in the analysed experiments was 0.494 g L−1, and the minimum was 0 g L−1.
“The maximum nitrogen content in the modified media in the analysed experiments was 0.494 g L− 1 [68, 104], and the minimum was 0 g L− 1 [39].”
From Nitrogen and phosphorus stress as a tool to induce lipid production in microalgae (2023) · cites this paper as [39]
The citation to this paper is attached to the claimed maximum of 0.494 g/L. The Microalgal strain and medium preparation section lists the tested nitrogen concentrations as 0, 36, 72, 144, and 288 mg/L, making this paper’s maximum 0.288 g/L, not 0.494 g/L. The separate citation attached to the minimum is not assessed here. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe slow growth of G. sulphuraria in half-strength CF-WW was due to nutrient, more specifically nitrogen, limitation.
“Growth in half-strength CF-WW was slow presumably due to nutrient, more specifically nitrogen limitation (Pancha et al. 2014;Zarrinmehr et al. 2020).”
From Quantification of phototrophically grown Galdieria sulphuraria and other microalgae using diphenylamine (2025) · cites this paper as Zarrinmehr et al. 2020
The Discussion reports that low nitrogen concentrations limited growth of I. galbana, supporting nitrogen limitation as a plausible explanation for slow microalgal growth. The paper does not study G. sulphuraria or half-strength CF-WW, so it cannot establish that explanation for the conditions in the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.87)

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.
