Popis: Experimental research into the conditions of cultivation of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris (IFR ??-111 strain) with high lipid content has been conducted. Nutrient media have been selected, and a concentration of potassium nitrate, which affects the formation of intracellular non-polar lipids, has been determined. Also, the influence of cultivation temperature on the biomass growth has been studied. As a result of research, kinetic coefficients of a mathematical model which describes the biomass growth of microalgae with high content of non-polar lipids were experimentally defined.
