Popis: Microalgal cultivation in a solution recovered from the low-temperature catalytic gasification of the microalga itself was studied. The growth of Chlorella vulgaris in 75-300-fold diluted recovered solution containing phosphate, magnesium ions and micro-elements was comparable to that in the standard culture medium. It was suggested that C. vulgaris could use ammonium in the recovered solution as its nitrogen source and at the same time could provide a source of biomass which was recycled via gasification.
