  • Title: Biomass and lipid productivities of Chlorella vulgaris under autotrophic, heterotrophic and mixotrophic growth conditions.
    Author: Liang Y, Sarkany N, Cui Y.
    Journal: Biotechnol Lett; 2009 Jul; 31(7):1043-9. PubMed ID: 19322523.
    Abstract:
    Biomass and lipid productivities of Chlorella vulgaris under different growth conditions were investigated. While autotrophic growth did provide higher cellular lipid content (38%), the lipid productivity was much lower compared with those from heterotrophic growth with acetate, glucose, or glycerol. Optimal cell growth (2 g l(-1)) and lipid productivity (54 mg l(-1) day(-1)) were attained using glucose at 1% (w/v) whereas higher concentrations were inhibitory. Growth of C. vulgaris on glycerol had a similar dose effects as those from glucose. Overall, C. vulgaris is mixotrophic.
