Abstract

A Picochlorum sp. of Trebuxiophycean was previously isolated with the total lipid of 48.6% of its dry weight (DW), including 27.84% of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). For further fundamental studies and application of the alga such as biomass optimization and lipid production for food and energy, optimal physiological conditions of initial cell density and light intensity are necessary to be determined. The obtained data revealed the best growth of Picochlorum sp. was at light intensity of 50µmol photon/m2/s and cell density of 5x106 cells/ml.
