Effects of sodium bicarbonate on cell growth, lipid accumulation, and morphology of Chlorella vulgaris

Abstract Background Low concentration NaHCO3 (ca. 12 mM) had been demonstrated to be an excellent carbon source for industrially important green alga Chlorella vulgaris and high concentration NaHCO3 (e.g. 160 mM) had been shown to be capable of controlling protozoa and stimulating lipid accumulation...
