The effects of CO2 concentration in aeration and light intensity as the culture condition were firstly examined. After the cultivation conditions as to CO2 concentration and light intensity were determined, the effects of the concentrations of KNO3, CH3COONa, NaC1 and MgSO4 in the culture medium on the chlorophyll biosynthesis and carotenoid accumulation ofC. fusca were examined. KNO3 and CH3COONa were used as the nitrogen and the organic carbon sources, respectively. They are very important nutrient sources to the microalgae. In fact, when the concentration of the nutrient sources was increased, the syntheses of chlorophyll and the carotenoid accumulation of the microalgae were promoted. Cfusca can take an organic carbon as the nutrient sources for its own growth, so the cell is activated compared to the case only in an inorganic nourishment sources. Mg2＋ is known as a raw material of chlorophyll and it can promote carotenoid accumulation. However, when it exists in excessive quantity, the microalgae receive a stress and it was difficult for microalgae to uptake such nutrient sources. In this study, it was found that there existed the optimum amounts of KNO3, CH3COONa, NaCI and MgSO4 which should be added to the culture medium.展开更多
