Testing for terrestrial and freshwater microalgae productivity under elevated CO₂ conditions and nutrient limitation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Microalgae CO₂ fixation results in the production of biomass rich in high-valuable products, such as fatty acids and carotenoids. Enhanced productivity of valuable compounds can be achieved through the microalgae's ability to capture CO₂ efficiently from sources of high CO₂ contents, but it depends on the species. Culture collections of microalgae offer a wide variety of defined strains. However, an inadequate understanding of which groups of microalgae and from which habitats they originate offer high productivity under increased CO₂ concentrations hampers exploiting microalgae as a sustainable source in the bioeconomy.

Results

A large variety of 81 defined algal strains, including new green algal isolates from various
