METHODS OF APPLYING AMMONIA TOXICITY AND INDUCING NITROGEN UPTAKE IN MICROALGAE CULTURES

Methods for culturing microalgae in ammonia or ammonium toxicity conditions to induce the uptake of nitrogen, increase the metabolic rate, and increase the accumulation of protein, are disclosed. Embodiments include methods of controlling the internal microalgae cell ammonium concentration by manipu...

Summary:Methods for culturing microalgae in ammonia or ammonium toxicity conditions to induce the uptake of nitrogen, increase the metabolic rate, and increase the accumulation of protein, are disclosed. Embodiments include methods of controlling the internal microalgae cell ammonium concentration by manipulating the culture pH and residual ammonia or ammonium concentration.
