Interactions between organic and inorganic carbon sources during mixotrophic cultivation of Synechococcus sp.

Glucose at 3 g l−1 markedly accelerated growth of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002. The net photosynthesis rate was 263 μmol O2 (mg Chl a h)−1 for mixotrophic culture and 146 μmol O2 (mg Chl a h)−1 for photoautotrophic culture. Additing 1 g NaHCO3 l−1 to the glucose-supplemented culture enhanced the photosynthetic rate by 18%, and the total carbon consumption rate was raised to 2.5 mg l−1 (mg chl a h)−1 from a previously negative value. An interaction between organic and inorganic carbon metabolism was established.

An economical device for carbon supplement in large-scale micro-algae production

AbstractsOne simple but efficient carbon-supplying device was designed and developed, and the correlative carbon-supplying technology was described. The absorbing characterization of this device was studied. The carbon-supplying system proved to be economical for large-scale cultivation of Spirulina sp. in an outdoor raceway pond, and the gaseous carbon dioxide absorptivity was enhanced above 78%, which could reduce the production cost greatly.

An Effective Device for Gas-Liquid Oxygen Removal in Enclosed Microalgae Culture

A high-performance gas–liquid transmission device (HPTD) was described in this paper. To investigate the HPTD mass transfer characteristics, the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients,
