Effects of different nitrogen concentrations on growth and chemical composition of a freshwater microalga Scenedesmus obliqnus

Journal Title: 广东农业科学 - Year 2018, Vol 45, Issue 1

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of different nitrogen concentrations on growth and chemical composition of a freshwater microalga Scenedesmus obliqnus. In this study,the culture solutions were designated with seven nitrogen concentrations,which were 0.247 mg/L,2.47 mg/L,24.7 mg/L,123.5 mg/L,247 mg/L,370.5 mg/L and 740 mg/L,respectively. The results showed that different initial nitrogen concentrations had significant effects on the growth and the nitrogen and phosphorus contents of S. obliqnus( P<0.05). The growth rate of algae increased with the nitrogen concentrations of nutrients increasing,peaking at the 247mg/L of nitrogen concentration and decreasing thereafter. Therefore,the nitrogen concentration of 247 mg/L is the saturation concentration for the growth of S. obliqnus. When the nitrogen concentration was 0.247~24.7 mg/L,the N content of unit algae volume( mg/L) increased with the increase of nitrogen concentration of nutrients,but as the nitrogen concentration continued to increase,the N content of algae had no significant difference. With the increase of nitrogen concentration of nutrients,the P content of unit algae volume( mg/L) increased and then decreased,the P content of cell( mg/cell) declined sharply. Therefore,the high nitrogen concentration in surrounding environment would inhibit the production of algal phosphorus composition.
