Aeration effect on Spirulina platensis growth and γ-linolenic acid production

Aeration effect on Spirulina platensis growth and γ-linolenic acid production

The influence of aeration on algal growth and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) production in a bubble column photobioreactor was investigated. Studies were performed in a 20-L reactor at different aeration rates (0.2-2.5 vvm). Static, continuous, and periodic operation of air resulted in 41.9%, 88.4%, and...
