“…Previous investigations (Soeder et al 1987;Luther and Soeder 1991) have shown that 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid is degraded in cultures of S. obliquus and that 1-naphthol and 4-hydroxy-1-tetralone are formed. Now two further metabolites have been found, giving a more complete picture of the degradation sequence.…”

“…The average sulfur content of the dry biomass of Scenedesmus obliquus cultivated in medium N8 is 0.006 g g -1 (Luther and Soeder 1991). To satisfy this demand with certainty in periodically diluted synchronous cultures, the mineral medium contains 0.2 mmol l -1 or 19.2 mg l -1 of sulfate.…”

“…However, algae can also oxidize relatively recalcitrant organic compounds with the formation of metabolites (Cerniglia et al 1980;Warshawsky et al 1990), and there are also reports in the literature on the utilization of aliphatic and aromatic compounds by algae as sources of carbon (Semple and Cain 1996). As sources of sulfur, photosynthesizing green algae desulfonate aliphatic as well as aromatic sulfonic acids (Biedlingmaier and Schmidt 1983;Soeder et al 1987;Luther and Soeder 1991). Soeder et al (1987) have found that in cultures of Scenedesmus obliquus under conditions of sulfate limitation the sulfonic acid group of naphthalenesulfonic acids could provide the sulfur needed by the alga.…”

Under sulfate limitation, axenic batch cultures of the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus metabolized 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid and partially used the sulfonate as a source of sulfur. The main metabolite, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, which was not metabolized further in the algal culture, was formed by hydroxylation of the substrate in position 1 and by migration of the sulfonic acid group to position 2 of the naphthalene ring (NIH shift). A smaller amount of 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid was desulfonated. The resulting 1-naphthol was mostly transformed into 1-naphthyl beta-d-glucopyranoside.

“…There have been many studies on algal cultivation methods for improved algal growth and lipid content. Some have been conducted in batch mode (Gardner et al, 2011; Kitaya et al, 2008; Liu et al, 2011; Su et al, 2011; Wang et al, 2007); others used steady state (chemostat or turbidostat) operation to study the algal growth (Emdadi et al, 1989; King et al, 2002; Lippemeier et al, 2001; Luther and Soeder, 1991; Rusch and Christensen, 2003). Recently, Maeda et al (2006) used the chemostat and turbidostat methods to evaluate effects of turbidity and dilution rate on starch production of the Chlamydomonas sp.…”

New biomass sources for alternative fuels has become a subject of increasing importance as the nation strives to resolve the economic and strategic impacts of limited fossil fuel resources on our national security, environment, and global climate. Algae are among the most promising non-food-crop-based biomass feedstocks. However, there are currently no commercially viable microalgae-based production systems for biofuel production that have been developed, as limitations include less-than optimal oil content, growth rates, and cultivation techniques. While batch studies are critical for determining basic growth phases and characteristics of the algal species, steady-state studies are necessary to better understand and measure the specific growth parameters. This study evaluated the effects of dilution rate on microalgal biomass productivity, lipid content, and fatty acid profile under steady-state conditions with continuous illumination and carbon dioxide supplemention for two types of algae. Continuous cultures were conducted for more that 3 months. Our results show that the productivity of Chlorella minutissima varied from 39 to 137 mg/L/day (dry mass) when the dilution rate varied from 0.08 to 0.64 day(-1). The biomass productivity of C. minutissima reached a maximum value (137 mg/L/day) at a dilution rate of 0.33 day(-1), while the productivity of Dunaliella tertiolecta varied from 46 to 91 mg/L/day at a dilution rate of 0.17 to 0.74 day(-1). The biomass productivity of D. tertiolecta reached a maximum value of 91 mg/L/day at a dilution rate of 0.42 day(-1). Moreover, the lipid content had no significant change with various dilution rates.
