Abstract

The growth rate and starch content of four strains of microalgae preserved in our laboratory were analyzed. A carbohydrate-rich microalgae #3, as one of the four, was screened. Its growth rate and starch content could attain to 0.086 g/(L•d) and 225.2 mg/L, respectively. Further, microalgae #3 was identified as Desmodesmus sp. based on 18s rDNA cluster analysis. The growth rate of Desmodesmus sp. #3 was low and the total sugar accumulation was fast when cultured without adding nitrogen. The growth rate change at different nitrogen concentration was almost similar, but total sugar accumulation speed presented different change tendency.
