Effect of various carbon sources on biomass and lipid production of Chlorella vulgaris during nutrient sufficient and nitrogen starvation conditions

In vivo antiviral efficacy of moroxydine hydrochloride against grass carp reovirus and the drug safety assessment

“…Aquatic vegetation and algae are the primary producers of aquatic environment, keeping balance and stability of water ecological system, and directly or indirectly adjusting the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems (Ricardo, Virgile, & René, 2013;Zhang et al, 2016). Chlorella vulgaris, as a beneficial algae strain with abundant nutrients which can be used by omnivorous or herbivorous animals in aquaculture, was frequently chosen as the toxicity test materials (Geiger, Hornek-Gausterer, & Saçan, 2016;Najafabadi, Malekzadeh, Jalilian, Vossoughi, & Pazuki, 2015). Moreover, fish as a consumer of aquatic ecosystems and an important source of food is one of the closest relationships with human beings and also was used as a subject of aquatic biological toxicity test (Folmar, Sanders, & Julin, 1979;Fu et al, 2015).…”

The effect of physicochemical conditions and nutrient sources on maximizing the growth and lipid productivity of green microalgae

“…On the other hand, growth under 2% CO 2 conditions enabled an increase of starch content of both C. vulgaris and C. variabilis (Cheng et al ). In the case of C. vulgaris grown in both aerated and 3% CO 2 supplemented medium, the biomass production reached a level 46% higher than the cultivation under aeration with no CO 2 supplementation (Abedini‐Najafabadi et al ) – highlighting the important role played by CO 2 enrichment in C. vulgaris culture. Moreover, lipid accumulation was also improved in CO 2 supplemented cultures (Abedini‐Najafabadi et al ).…”

“…C. vulgaris subjected to sodium acetate and sodium bicarbonate showed a higher level of biomass production in comparison with CO 2 . However, the highest amount of biomass was achieved by using sodium bicarbonate (Abedini‐Najafabadi et al ). These results were coherent with Kong et al () that examined the effect of different organic and inorganic carbon sources (sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, glucose, sucrose and glycerol) on the growth of C. vulgaris .…”

The role of co-solvents in improving the direct transesterification of wet microalgal biomass under supercritical condition

“…Microalgae was cultivated in a 5 L (ID, 16 cm; height, 25 cm) photobioreactor containing sterilized Bold's Basal Media (BBM) (Stein, 1973) for about 2 weeks, followed by 2 days of stressing under nitrogen-starvation condition, as previously described by Abedini Najafabadi et al (2015a). BB medium contains NaNO 3 (250 mg/L), of artificial light (continuous fluorescence illumination) and its temperature was adjusted to 25°C.…”
