Dvoretsky D., Dvoretsky S., Peshkova E., Temnov M., 2015, Optimization of the Process of Cultivation of Microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris Biomass with High Lipid Content for Biofuel Production, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 43, 361-366.
Experimental research into the conditions of cultivation of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris (IFR ??-111 strain) with high lipid content has been conducted. Nutrient media have been selected, and a concentration of potassium nitrate, which affects the formation of intracellular non-polar lipids, has been determined. Also, the influence of cultivation temperature on the biomass growth has been studied. As a result of research, kinetic coefficients of a mathematical model which describes the biomass growth of microalgae with high content of non-polar lipids were experimentally defined.
