摘要

Abstract

Nitrogen deficiency is an effective strategy for enhancing lipid production in microalgae. Close relationships exist among lipid production

microalgal species

and nitrogen sources. We report growth

lipid accumulation

and fatty acid composition in four microalgae (Chlorococcum ellipsoideum UTEX972

Chlorococcum nivale LB2225

Chlorococcum tatrense UTEX2227

and Scenedesmus deserticola JNU19) under nitrate- and urea-nitrogen deficiencies. We found three patterns of response to nitrogen deficiency: Type-A (decrease in biomass and increase in lipid content)

Type-B (reduction in both biomass and lipid content)

and Type-C (enhancement of both biomass and lipid content). Type-C microalgae are potential candidates for large-scale oil production. Chlorococcum ellipsoideum

for example

exhibited a neutral lipid production of up to 239.6 mg/(L·d) under urea-nitrogen deficiency. In addition

nitrogen deficiency showed only a slight influence on lipid fractions and fatty acid composition. Our study provides useful information for further screening hyper-lipid microalgal strains for biofuel production.
