The 5 L bioreactor has an 8 inch diameter and the 20 L has a 12 inch diameter, which may facilitate efficient light absorption and medium circulation for algal culture.
For example, CeO2 NPs adsorbed around 50% of PO4 in the medium during exposure of green alga (P. Subcapitata), but the remaining PO4 in the medium was sufficient for algal growth.
The concentration of NaNO3, MgSO4·7H2O and proteose, in Chlorella protothecoides medium were optimized for algal biomass and lipid production by using response surface methodology with Box-Behnken design.
The simple regression analysis showed the applicability of the unsupplemented natural medium with sufficient natural nutrition for algal biomass production.
For algal growth, the concentration of dissolved CO2 in the nutrient medium is important and not the concentration of CO2 in the air bubbled into the culture, although a close relationship should be expected.
"2008, '09 and '10 were really bad years for algal blooms.
Another important composition of the medium is the bacterial communities which may act as algal diseases to some extent, especially when considering alternative water sources like wastewater for algal cultivation.
Microalgal metabolic engineering holds great promise for algal biofuels.
Two scenarios were examined for algal drying.
Coverage of primer pairs for algal and cyanobacteria SSU rDNA.
