Popis: Overproduction of biomass and hyper-accumulation of lipids endow microalgae with promising characteristics to realize the cost-effective potential of advanced bioenergy. This study sought to heuristically optimize the culture conditions on a rarely reported Golenkinia sp. The results indicate that Golenkinia SDEC-16 can withstand the strong light intensity and grow in a modified BG11 medium. The optimal culture conditions for the favorable tradeoff between biomass and lipid accumulation were suggested as follows, 25,000 lux of light intensity, 9 mM of initial nitrogen concentration, and 20 mM of initial sodium chloride concentration. Under these conditions, the biomass concentration and productivity reached 6.65 g/L and 545 mg/L/d, and the synchronous lipid content and productivity reached 54.38% and 296.39 mg/L/d. Hypersalinity significantly promoted lipid contents at the cost of biomass and resulted in an increase of cell size but loss of spines of Golenkinia SDEC-16. The results shed new light on optimizing biomass and lipid productivity.
