Two-stage mixotrophic cultivation for enhancing the biomass and lipid productivity of Chlorella vulgaris

Abstract This study proposes a two-stage mixotrophic process for cultivating Chlorella vulgaris. Heterotrophic growth is the dominant step in Phase I (to increase microalgal biomass) and photoautotrophic growth occurs in Phase II (to improve biomass concentration and lipid production). The results s...
