Effects of light intensity and temperature on photoautotrophic growth of a green microalga, Chlorococcum littorale

A highly CO2-tolerant green alga, Chlorococcum littorale, was investigated at temperatures ranging from 8 to 28 °C, light intensities from 30 to 170 μmol m−2 s−1, a constant CO2 concentration of 5% (v/v) and atmospheric pressure. The experimental results showed that a specific growth rate μ, defined...
