Abstract
The maximum biomass in iron-limited photosynthetic batch cultures of chlorella increased as the logarithm of the iron concentration. The growth yield from iron (Y x/Fe) showed a marked inverse relation to the specific growth rate. The maximum biomass yield, g dry biomass/g iron consumed, was 7.5x103 with specific growth rate 0.108 h-1; the minimum was 0.79×103 with specific growth rate 0.145 h-1. The maximum specific growth rate in the exponential phase of Fe limited cultures varied as the initial Fe concentration. Fe-limited growth made the cells adhere to a glass surface.Keywords
