Lumostatic operation controlled by the optimum light intensity per dry weight for the effective production of Chlorella zofingiensis in the high cell density continuous culture

To maximize the production rate of Chlorella zofingiensis, a lumostatic continuous culture was operated under light intensities of 250–1510 μE m− 2 s− 1. The cell density and volumetric biomass production rate were increased without photo inhibition and reached 13.5 g-dry weight (dw) L− 1 on day 21....

description To maximize the production rate of Chlorella zofingiensis, a lumostatic continuous culture was operated under light intensities of 250–1510 μE m− 2 s− 1. The cell density and volumetric biomass production rate were increased without photo inhibition and reached 13.5 g-dry weight (dw) L− 1 on day 21.5 and 2.41 g-dw L− 1 day− 1 on day 10.5, respectively. These maximum values were higher than any previous photoautotrophic culture study with C. zofingiensis. The specific growth rate was maintained at a high level > 0.5 day− 1 until the light intensity per dry weight decreased below 28 μE g-dw− 1 s− 1, which coincided with the value estimated in our previous study, verifying the reliability of this estimated value. There was a strong relationship between the photosynthetic efficiency and light intensity per dry weight for C. zofingiensis. This relationship may be useful for evaluating species-specific productivity to select productive species.
