This research presents the effect of hydrodynamic conditions at different rates of aeration (1.4, 1.8, and 2.3 vvm) and the geometry of two photobioreactors with internal lighting on lipid productivity and other parameters of Chlorella vulgaris. A two-step nitrogenreduction cultivation mode was applied for promoting lipid accumulation. The inoculum was cultivated initially at 90 mg L −1 N-NH 4 + , and at the end of the exponential phase, it was fed to 11 L photobioreactor at 20 mg L −1 of N-NH 4 +. The results showed that with similar aeration rates, the hydrodynamic regime in both photobioreactors was different. However, the increase in shear rate and agitation did not cause cell damage or photoinhibition. The maximum cell growth was 12 × 10 6 cells mL −1. The highest consumption of nitrogen was 19% and shear rates were of 120-340 s −1. The highest lipid productivity was reached in bubble column at 1.8 vvm with 0.650 mg•L −1 d −1 .
Fermentation technologies have been developed to improve the production of ethanol and an alternative is the immobilization technology, which ofers the possibility of eiciently incorporating symbiotic bacteria in the same matrix. This study analyzes the potential use of immobilized and coinmobilized systems on beads of calcium alginate for ethanol production used mango waste (Mangifera indica) by Zymomonas mobilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae compared with free cells culture and evaluate the efect of glucose concentration on productivity in coimmobilized system using a Chemostat reactor Ommi Culture Plus. For free cell culture, the productivity was higher for Z. mobilis ). The conversion of glucose to ethanol for coimmobilized system was higher (6.91 mol ethanol) with 50 g L -1 of glucose compared to 200 g L -1 of glucose (5.82 mol ethanol); suggesting the immobilized and coimmobilized cultures compared with free cells ofer an opportunity for the reuse of organic residues and high alcohol production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
