Starch and lipid accumulation in eight strains of six Chlorella species under comparatively high light intensity and aeration culture conditions.
Tsuyoshi Takeshita,Shuhei Ota,Tomokazu Yamazaki,Aiko Hirata,Vilém Zachleder,Shigeyuki Kawano +5 more
TLDR
The Chlorellaceae strains were attempted to increase starch and lipids productivity under high-light-intensity conditions and found that the 12:12-h light-dark cycle conditions elicited more stable growth than the continuous light (LL) conditions, whereas the starch and Lipids yields increased in LL conditions.About:
