CO2 fixation and lipid production by microalgal species

Microalgal species Nannochloropsis limnetica , Botryococcus braunii , and Stichococcus bacillaris were compared for their ability to grow, remove CO 2 , and accumulate lipids in their biomass under CO 2 -enriched atmosphere. Overall, N. limnetica outperformed the other two cultures and distinctly ex...

Description
Summary:Microalgal species Nannochloropsis limnetica , Botryococcus braunii , and Stichococcus bacillaris were compared for their ability to grow, remove CO 2 , and accumulate lipids in their biomass under CO 2 -enriched atmosphere. Overall, N. limnetica outperformed the other two cultures and distinctly exhibited higher specific growth rate (0.999 d −1 ) and CO 2 fixation rate (0.129 gL −1 d −1 ) with a high specific lipid yield (40% w/w). The volumetric CO 2 fixation rate for all three species was validated with biomass productivity and mass transfer methods ( P
