Insight into nitrogen and phosphorus coupling effects on mixotrophic Chlorella vulgaris growth under stably controlled nutrient conditions

Yue Huang et al.

Summary: In aquatic environments, nitrogen and phosphorus are crucial nutrients for the growth of mixotrophic Chlorella vulgaris, with their concentration significantly affecting growth parameters and nutrient uptake. Particularly, at lower nutrient levels, the N-P ratio plays a more sensitive role in influencing the biochemical and elemental composition of the microalgae.

Effects of Nutrient Content and Nitrogen to Phosphorous Ratio on the Growth, Nutrient Removal and Desalination Properties of the Green Alga Coelastrum morus on a Laboratory Scale

Aida Figler et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of nutrient content and N:P ratios on the growth, nutrient removal ability, and halotolerance of the green alga Coelastrum morus in wastewater treatment. High nitrate content with high phosphate concentration was found to be unfavorable for growth, while high N:P ratios favored phosphate removal. The common green algal species C. morus showed promising halotolerance in high salt concentrations, indicating that higher nutrient content contributes to higher halotolerance.

Microalgal lipids: A review of lipids potential and quantification for 95 phytoplankton species

Marjorie Morales et al.

Summary: Phytoplankton have the potential for biodiesel production, with higher growth rates and oil yield than terrestrial crops. To enhance lipid yields, stress and cultivation conditions are altered, creating challenges in understanding optimal lipid accumulation factors. Various factors such as nutrient stress, temperature, and metabolic engineering impact lipid content and composition, highlighting the complexity in comparing different phyla for improved phytoplankton-based biodiesel production.
