Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis M2 was grown outdoors in 50-mm diameter tubular reactors under the climatic conditions of central Italy (Florence) from September to December 1995 and in March 1996. Except for September, the cultures temperature was regulated. Mean productivities of 0.83, 0.44 and 0.61 g dry wt L–1 d–1 were achieved in autumn (September–October), winter (November–December) and March, respectively. In autumn and winter, the photosynthetic efficiency of the cultures and the degree of correlation between productivity and solar irradiance were significantly greater than in summer. The effect of cell density and aeration rate on productivity was evaluated in September. The productivity of cultures operated at high supra-optimal population density was about 30% less at high aeration rate (1.0 LL–1 min–1), and 50% less at standard aeration rate (0.17 LL–1 min–1), than that of control cultures kept at optimal population density and standard aeration rate. The reduction of productivity in high-density cultures was due to lower daylight output rates and higher night biomass losses (the latter were particularly relevant under standard aeration conditions). The main factor limiting productivity in closed reactors during autumn was the night temperature. Heating the cultures during daylight hours on sunny days did not cause any significant increase of the yields, since under sunlight the unheated cultures also reached the optimal temperature for growth early in the morning. On cloudy days, the day-time temperature of the unheated cultures remained well below the optimum, however this had only a limited effect on productivity since algal growth was mainly light-limited.  相似文献

This work concerns an attempt to develop large scalecultivation of Porphyridium sp. outdoors. Theimpact on cell growth and production of solublesulphated polysaccharides of light-path length (LP)was studied in flat plate glass reactors outdoors. TheLP of the plate reactors ranged from 1.3–30 cm,corresponding to culture volumes of 3–72 L. The sidewalls of all reactors were covered, ensuring similarilluminated surfaces for all reactors. Maximal daytemperature was maintained at 26 ±1 °C.Growth conditions of pH (7.5), stirring (withcompressed air) and mineral nutrients, were optimal.Maximal volumetric concentration of the soluble sulfated polysaccharide (1.32 g L-1) was obtained in winter with the smallest light-pathreactor (1.3 cm ) at a cell density of 1.37 ×1011cells L-1. Under these conditions, theviscosity of the culture medium was also highest,being inversely proportional to the culture'slight-path. Highest areal concentration of solublepolysaccharides (60 g m-2) and areal cell density(3.01 × 1012m-2) was recorded in the 20 cmLP reactor, progressively lower values being obtainedas the light path became shorter. A similar patternwas obtained for the areal productivity ofpolysaccharides, the highest being 4.15 g m-2day-1 (considering the total illuminated reactorsurface), produced in the 20-cm LP reactor.The main sugar composition (i.e. xylose, galactose andglucose) of the sulfated polysaccharides was similarin all reactors. As viscosity increased with timeduring culture growth, there was a substantial declinein bacterial population. Cultivation throughout mostof the year provided good evidence that a light pathlength of 20 cm in flat plate reactors under theseconditions is optimal for maximal areal solublepolysaccharide production of Porphyridium sp.  相似文献

Continuous ethanol fermentation by immobilized whole cells ofZymomonas mobilis was investigated in an expanded bed bioreactor and in a continuous stirred tank reactor at glucose concentrations of 100, 150 and 200 g L–1. The effect of different dilution rates on ethanol production by immobilized whole cells ofZymomonas mobilis was studied in both reactors. The maximum ethanol productivity attained was 21 g L–1 h–1 at a dilution rate of 0.36 h–1 with 150 g glucose L–1 in the continuous expanded bed bioreactor. The conversion of glucose to ethanol was independent of the glucose concentration in both reactors.  相似文献

Continuous cultures of Chaetoceros muelleri and Isochrysis galbana were grown outdoors in flat plate-glass reactors in which light-path length (LPL) varied from 5 to 30 cm. High daily productivity (13 to 16 g cell mass per square meter of irradiated reactor surface) for long periods of time was obtained in reactors in which the optical path as well as cell density were optimized. 'Twenty centimeters was the optimal LPL, yielding the highest areal productivity of cell mass (g m–2d–1), eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid, which was identical with that previously found for polysaccharide production of Porphyridium and not far from the optimal LPL affecting maximal productivity in Nannochloropsis species. Relating the energy impinging on a given reactor surface area to the appropriate number of cells showed that the most efficient light dose per cell, obtained with the 20-cm LPL reactor, was approximately 2.5 times lower than the light dose available per cell in the 5-cm LPL reactor, in which a significant decline in areal cell density accompanied the lowest areal output of cell mass. The most effective harvesting regimen was in the range of 10% to 15% of culture volume harvested daily and replaced with fresh growth medium, resulting in a sustainable culture density of 24 × 106 and 28 × 106 cells/ml of C. muelleri and I. galbana, respectively.  相似文献

A study was made on the mass cultivation of Nannochloropsis sp. in newly designed annular reactors operated under natural, artificial or combined illumination. The annular reactor consists of two 2-m-high Plexiglas cylinders of different diameter placed vertically one inside the other so as to form an annular culture chamber. Artificial illumination is supplied by lamps placed inside the inner cylinder. Two annular reactors of different diameter (50 and 91 cm), light path (4.5 and 3.0 cm) and illuminated surface area (5.3 and 9.3 m2) were experimented with. The effect of two different artificial light sources (fluorescent tubes and metal halide lamps) on culture productivity was investigated in both systems. The highest productivity on a per reactor basis (about 34 g (d. wt) reactor–1 24 h–1) was achieved with the larger reactor illuminated by a 400-W metal halide lamp. From February to May a 91-cm reactor illuminated only with natural light was operated in parallel with a 91-cm reactor subjected to combined illumination. Under natural illumination productivity increased from 16.6 g (d. wt) reactor–1 d–1 in February to 34.1 g (d. wt) reactor–1 d–1 in May. Under combined illumination productivity was 41.3 g (d. wt) reactor–1 d–1 in February and increased up to 48.3 g (d. wt) reactor–1 d–1 in May. Although the culture exposed to combined illumination always attained higher yields, the productivity gap between the two cultures decreased gradually along the season as solar radiation and minimum night temperatures increased. A 1200-L plant made of ten 50-cm annular reactors was set up and operated for two years with combined illumination yielding an average of 270 g of dry Nannochloropsis sp. biomass per day. More than 2000 L of concentrate suspension (50 g (d. wt) L–1) of Nannochloropsis sp. were produced and successfully used by fish hatcheries as live feed for rotifers and for rearing seabream larvae with the green-water technique. This study indicates that the annular reactor can be profitably used for long-term cultivation of Nannochloropsis in temperate climates. Besides reliability and ease of operation, the main advantage of the system is that it can be used under natural illumination, yet artificial light can be also supplied to maintain high productivity levels in winter or on cloudy days.  相似文献

Biofilms are a natural form of cell immobilization that result from microbial attachment to solid supports. Biofilm reactors with polypropylene composite-supports containing up to 25% (w/w) of various agricultural materials (corn hulls, cellulose, oat hulls, soybean hulls or starch) and nutrients (soybean flour or zein) were used for ethanol production. Pure cultures ofZymomonas mobilis, ATCC 31821 orSaccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 24859 and mixed cultures with either of these ethanol-producing microorganisms and the biofilm-formingStreptomyces viridosporus T7A ATCC 39115 were evaluated. An ethanol productivity of 374g L–1 h–1 (44% yield) was obtained on polypropylene composite-supports of soybean hull-zein-polypropylene by usingZ. mobilis, whereas mixed-culture fermentations withS. viridosporus resulted in ethanol productivity of 147.5 g L–1 h–1 when polypropylene composite-supports of corn starch-soybean flour were used. WithS. cerevisiae, maximum productivity of 40 g L–1 h–1 (47% yield) was obtained on polypropylene composite-supports of soybean hull-soybean flour, whereas mixed-culture fermentation withS. viridosporus resulted in ethanol productivity of 190g L–1 h–1 (35% yield) when polypropylene composite-supports of oat hull-polypropylene were used. The maximum productivities obtained without supports (suspension culture) were 124 g L–1 h–1 and 5 g L–1 h–1 withZ. mobilis andS. cerevisiae, respectively. Therefore, forZ. mobilis andS. cerevisiae, ethanol productivities in biofilm fermentations were three- and eight-fold higher than suspension culture fermentations, respectively. Biofilm formation on the chips was detected by weight change and Gram staining of the support material at the end of the fermentation. The ethanol production rate and concentrations were consistently greater in biofilm reactors than in suspension cultures.This is Journal Paper No. J-16356 of the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station, Ames, Iowa.

Biomass and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) productivities were investigated in a flat panel airlift loop reactor ideally mixed by static mixers. Growth with ammonium, urea and nitrate as nitrogen source were performed at different aeration rates. Cultures grew on ammonium but the decay of pH strongly inhibited biomass increase. On urea biomass productivity reached 2.35 g L–1d–1at an aeration rate of 0.66 vvm (24 h light per day, 1000 mol photon m–2s–1). Aeration rates between 0.33 vvm and 0.66 vvm and maximal productivities on urea were linearly dependent. Productivity on nitrate never exceeded 1.37 g L–1d–1. In the range of maximum productivity photosynthesis efficiency of 10.6% was reached at low irradiance (250 mol photon m–2s–1). Photosynthesis efficiency decreased to 4.8% at 1000 mol photon m–2s–1. At these high irradiances the flat panel airlift reactor showed a 35% higher volume productivity than the bubble column. At continuous culture conditions the influence of CO2concentration in the supply air was tested. Highest productivities were reached at 1.25% (v/v) CO2where the continuous culture yielded 1.04 g L–1d–1(16 h light per day, 1000 mol photon m–2s–1). The average EPA content amounted to 5.0% of cell dry weight, that resulted in EPA productivities of 52 mg L–1d–1(continuous culture, 16 h light per day) or 118 mg L–1d–1(batch culture, 24 h light per day).  相似文献

Net productivity and biomass night losses in outdoor chemostat cultures ofPhaeodactylum tricornutum were analyzed in two tubular airlift photobioreactors at different dilution rates, photobioreactor surface/volume ratios and incident solar irradiance. In addition, an approximate model for the estimation of light profile and average irradiance inside outdoor tubular photobioreactors was proposed. In both photobioreactors, biomass productivity increased with dilution rate and daily incident solar radiation except at the highest incident solar irradiances and dilution rates, when photoinhibition effect was observed in the middle of the day. Variation of estimated average irradiance vs mean incident irradiance showed two effects: first, the outdoor cultures are adapted to average irradiance, and second, simultaneous photolimitation and photoinhibition took place at all assayed culture conditions, the extent of this phenomena being a function of the (incident)1 irradiance and light regime inside the culture. Productivity ranged between 0.50 and 2.04 g L–1 d–1 in the tubular photobioreactor with the lower surface/volume ratio (S/V = 77.5 m–1) and between 1.08 and 2.76 g L–1 d–1 in the other (S/V = 122.0 m–1). The optimum dilution rate was 0.040 h–1 in both reactors. Night-time biomass losses were a function of the average irradiance inside the culture, being lower in TPB0.03 than TPB0.06, due to a better light regime in the first. In both photobioreactors, biomass night losses strongly decreased when the photoinhibition effect was pronounced. However, net biomass productivity also decreased due to lower biomass generation during the day. Thus, optimum culture conditions were obtained when photolimitation and photoinhibition were balanced.  相似文献

The effect of inoculum level on xylitol production byCandida guilliermondii was evaluated in a rice straw hemicellulose hydrolysate. High initial cell density did not show a positive effect in this bioconversion since increasing the initial cell density from 0.67 g L–1 to 2.41 g L–1 decreased both the rate of xylose utilization and xylitol accumulation. The maximum xylitol yield (0.71 g g–1) and volumetric productivity (0.56 g L–1 h–1) were reached with an inoculum level of 0.9 g L–1. These results show that under appropriate inoculum conditions rice straw hemicellulose hydrolysate can be converted into xylitol by the yeastC. guilliermondii with efficiency values as high as 77% of the theoretical maximum.  相似文献

Arachidonic acid (AA) is a precursor of biologically activeprostaglandines and leukotrienes. The commercial source for AA at present is afungus, but the recently discovered coccoid green alga,Parietochlorisincisa comb. nov., in which over 90% of total AA is deposited intriacylglycerols, makes this species a potential candidate for commercialproduction of AA. We investigated the effect of the light-regime on cell-AAcontent and on culture productivity, by manipulating the intensity of the lightsource, the length of the light-path (LPL), and the population density ofcultures grown in flat plate glass reactors under both controlled laboratoryconditions (continuously illuminated) as well as outdoors. The effect ofnitrogen deprivation on culture content of AA and its productivity was alsostudied.In all experiments, the longer light-path reactors with the highest arealvolumes (L m–2) yielded the highest culture-AA or the highestamount of AA harvested per illuminated reactor surface. Highest culture contentof AA was obtained in cultures exposed to strong light andnitrogen-deprivation.In contrast, highest cell-AA content was obtained in cultures receiving thelowest light-dose. Maximum culture content of AA obtained in the laboratory was2667 mg L–1, reached after a 38-day growth period(of which the final 17 days took place in nitrogen-free medium), undercontinuous exposure to 2000 mol photon m–2s–1. Maximal culture content of AA outdoors wassignificantly lower compared with the maximum obtained in the laboratory.  相似文献

Growth kinetics ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae in glucose syrup from cassava starch and sugarcane molasses were studied using batch and fed-batch cultivation. The optimum temperature and pH required for growth were 30°C and pH 5.5, respectively. In batch culture the productivity and overall cell yield were 0.31 g L–1 h–1 and 0.23 g cells g–1 sugar, respectively, on glucose syrup and 0.22 g L–1 h–1 and 0.18 g cells g–1 sugar, respectively, on molasses. In fed-batch cultivation, a productivity of 3.12 g L–1 h–1 and an overall cell yield of 0.52 g cells g–1 sugar in glucose syrup cultivation and a productivity of 2.33 g L–1 h–1 and an overall cell yield of 0.46 g cells g–1 sugar were achieved in molasses cultivation by controlling the reducing sugar concentration at its optimum level obtained from the fermentation model. By using an on-line ethanol sensor combined with a porous Teflon® tubing method in automating the feeding of substrate in the fed-batch culture, a productivity of 2.15 g L–1 h–1 with a yield of 0.47 g cells g–1 sugar was achieved using glucose syrup as substrate when ethanol concentration was kept at a constant level by automatic control.  相似文献

The effect of cell density (1–4.5 g L-1) and light intensity (44 and 82 mol m-2 s-1) on fatty acid composition andeicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 3) production was studied ina semi-continuous culture of Monodus subterraneus grown in a helicaltubular photobioreactor (`Biocoil') under laboratory conditions. Under lowlight, the highest proportion of EPA (31.5% of total fatty acids) and EPAcontent (3.5% of dry weight), biomass productivity (1.3 g L-124 h-1) and EPA productivity (44 mg L-1 24 h-1)occurred at optimal cell density of about 1.7 g L-1. Cell densityhad no effect on the total fatty acid (TFA) content and was maintained atca. 11% of dry weight. Under high light, the highest proportion ofEPA to fatty acids (31.8%), the total fatty acids content (13.4%) andEPA content (4.3% of dry weight) occurred at cell density of about 3.4gL-1. But the highest biomass productivity (1.7 g L-124 h-1) and EPA productivity (56 mg L-1 24 h-1) wereobtained at a cell density of 1.6 and 2.6g L-1, respectively. Ourresults suggest that manipulating the cell density and light intensity canmodify the composition of fatty acid and production of eicosapentaenoicacid (EPA) in M. subterraneus.  相似文献

A cell-retention fermenter was used for the pilot-scale production of kojic acid using an improved strain of Aspergillus oryzae in repeated-batch fermentations. Among the various carbon and nitrogen sources used, sucrose and yeast extract promoted pellet morphology of fungi and higher kojic acid production. Repeated-batch culture using a medium replacement ratio of 75% gave a productivity of 5.3 g L–1 day–1 after 11.5 days of cultivation. While batch culture in shake-flasks resulted in a productivity of 5.1 g L–1 day–1, a productivity of 5 g L–1 day–1 was obtained in a pilot-scale fermenter. By converting the batch culture into repeated batches, the non-productive downtime of cleaning, filling and sterilizing the fermenter between each batch were eliminated, thereby increasing the kojic acid productivity.  相似文献

An account is given of the setting up and use of a novel type of closed tubular photobioreactor at the Academic and University Centre in Nove Hrady, Czech Republic. This "penthouse-roof" photobioreactor was based on solar concentrators (linear Fresnel lenses) mounted in a climate-controlled greenhouse on top of the laboratory complex combining features of indoor and outdoor cultivation units. The dual-purpose system was designed for algal biomass production in temperate climate zone under well-controlled cultivation conditions and with surplus solar energy being used for heating service water. The system was used to study the strategy of microalgal acclimation to supra-high solar irradiance, with values as much as 3.5 times the ambient value, making the approach unique. The cultivation system proved to be fully functional with sufficient mixing and cooling, efficient oxygen stripping and light tracking. Experimental results (measurement of the maximum photochemical yield of PSII and non-photochemical quenching) showed that the cyanobacterium Spirulina (= Arthrospira) platensis cultivated under sufficient turbulence and biomass density was able to acclimate to irradiance values as high as 7 mmol photon m–2 s–1. The optimal biomass concentration of Spirulina cultures in September ranged between 1.2 to 2.2 g L–1, which resulted in a net productivity of about 0.5 g L–1 d–1 corresponding to a biomass yield of 32.5 g m–2 d–1 (based on the minimum illuminated surface area of the photobioreactor).  相似文献

A family of 10 competing, unstructured models has been developed to model cell growth, substrate consumption, and product formation of the pyruvate producing strain Escherichia coli YYC202 ldhA::Kan strain used in fed-batch processes. The strain is completely blocked in its ability to convert pyruvate into acetyl-CoA or acetate (using glucose as the carbon source) resulting in an acetate auxotrophy during growth in glucose minimal medium. Parameter estimation was carried out using data from fed-batch fermentation performed at constant glucose feed rates of qVG=10 mL h–1. Acetate was fed according to the previously developed feeding strategy. While the model identification was realized by least-square fit, the model discrimination was based on the model selection criterion (MSC). The validation of model parameters was performed applying data from two different fed-batch experiments with glucose feed rate qVG=20 and 30 mL h–1, respectively. Consequently, the most suitable model was identified that reflected the pyruvate and biomass curves adequately by considering a pyruvate inhibited growth (Jerusalimsky approach) and pyruvate inhibited product formation (described by modified Luedeking–Piret/Levenspiel term).List of symbols cA acetate concentration (g L–1) - cA,0 acetate concentration in the feed (g L–1) - cG glucose concentration (g L–1) - cG,0 glucose concentration in the feed (g L–1) - cP pyruvate concentration (g L–1) - cP,max critical pyruvate concentration above which reaction cannot proceed (g L–1) - cX biomass concentration (g L–1) - KI inhibition constant for pyruvate production (g L–1) - KIA inhibition constant for biomass growth on acetate (g L–1) - KP saturation constant for pyruvate production (g L–1) - KP inhibition constant of Jerusalimsky (g L–1) - KSA Monod growth constant for acetate (g L–1) - KSG Monod growth constant for glucose (g L–1) - mA maintenance coefficient for growth on acetate (g g–1 h–1) - mG maintenance coefficient for growth on glucose (g g–1 h–1) - n constant of extended Monod kinetics (Levenspiel) (–) - qV volumetric flow rate (L h–1) - qVA volumetric flow rate of acetate (L h–1) - qVG volumetric flow rate of glucose (L h–1) - rA specific rate of acetate consumption (g g–1 h–1) - rG specific rate of glucose consumption (g g–1 h–1) - rP specific rate of pyruvate production (g g–1 h–1) - rP,max maximum specific rate of pyruvate production (g g–1 h–1) - t time (h) - V reaction (broth) volume (L) - YP/G yield coefficient pyruvate from glucose (g g–1) - YX/A yield coefficient biomass from acetate (g g–1) - YX/A,max maximum yield coefficient biomass from acetate (g g–1) - YX/G yield coefficient biomass from glucose (g g–1) - YX/G,max maximum yield coefficient biomass from glucose (g g–1) - growth associated product formation coefficient (g g–1) - non-growth associated product formation coefficient (g g–1 h–1) - specific growth rate (h–1) - max maximum specific growth rate (h–1)  相似文献

A strain of Kluyveromyces marxianus was grown in batch culture in lactose-based media at varying initial lactose concentrations (10–60 g L–1) at 30°C, pH 5.0, dissolved oxygen concentrations greater than 20%. Increasing the concentration of mineral salts three-fold at 40 g L–1 and 60 g L–1 initial lactose concentration showed only a small increase in the yield of biomass, from 0.38 g g–1 to 0.41 g g–1, indicating that the initial batch cultures were not significantly nutrient- (mineral salts)-limited. A relatively high biomass concentration (105 g L–1) was obtained in fed-batch culture following extended lactose feeding. An average specific growth rate (0.27 h–1), biomass yield (0.38 g g–1) and overall productivity (2.9 g L–1 h–1) were obtained for these fed-batch conditions. This fed-batch protocol provides a strategy for achieving relatively high concentrations and productivities of K. marxianus on other lactose-based substrate streams (e.g., whey) from the dairy industry.  相似文献

Pseudomonas sp. 42A2 when incubated for 36 h with oleic acid (20 g l–1) in a stirred bioreactor, accumulated 10-hydroxy-8E-octadecenoic acid. Production in a 2 l bioreactor with 1.4 l of working volume, was increased from 0.65 g l–1 to 7.4 g l–1 with K L a values ranging between 15 and 200 h–1. A linear relationship was found between volumetric productivity and oxygen transfer rates and an exponential relation between the specific rate of product formation and specific growth rate.  相似文献

Summary The influence of different operational parameters, such as the dilution rate (D) and the bleeding rate (B), in the production of a flocculent strain ofLactobacillus plantarum was studied. The effect of the dilution rate was demonstrated to be related to the lactic acid concentration inside the reactor. The effect of the bleeding rate was shown to be critical in the stabilization of the operation (due to a better pH control). It also allowed a continuous recovery of cells outside the reactor. Viability testing of the lactic starter cultures showed that operation with cell purge increased the viability of the starter cultures obtained.Nomenclature B Bleeding rate, h–1 - D Dilution rate, h–1 - F Feed flow rate, L h–1 - I Feed velocity, m h–1 - Specific growth rate, h–1 - v Lactic acid specific productivity, g g–1 h–1 - P Product concentration (lactic acid), g L–1 - P out Product concentration leaving the system, g L–1 - Q b Bleeding flow rate, L h–1 - R Recirculation velocity, m h–1 - S Substract concentration, g L–1 - t Time, h - T p Time of ascensional flow (length of the column/total ascensional velocity), h - T r Residence time (1/D), h - V Volume of the reactor, L - X Cell concentration, g L–1 - X out Cell concentration leaving the system, g L–1  相似文献

Chlorella sorokiniana was cultured in heterotrophic or mixotrophic mode in outdoor enclosed tubular photobioreactor. The culture temperature was maintained at 32–35 °C. At night, theChlorella culture grew heterotrophically, and 0.1 M glucose was completely consumed. The biomass growth yield of glucose was 0.35 ± 0.001 g-biomass g-glucose–1. During the day, the algal culture grew mixotrophically and the biomass growth yield was 0.49 g-biomass g-glucose–1 in low density culture (initial biomass concentration, Xo = 2 g l–1), 0.56 g-biomass g-glucose–1 in medium density culture (Xo = 4 g l–1) and 0.46 g-biomass g-glucose–1 in high density culture (Xo = 7 g l–1). The daily area productivity of the culture, with Xo = 4 g l–1 corresponded to 127 g-biomass m–2 d–1 during the day and 79 g-biomass m–2 d–1 during the night. In all the cultures, the dissolved O2 concentration increased in the morning, reached the maximum value at noon, and then decreased in the afternoon. The dissolved CO2 concentration remained at 3 mBar in the morning and increased in the afternoon. Glycolate was not found to accumulate in culture medium.  相似文献

The performance ofNodularia harveyana, a N2-fixing cyanobacterium isolated from seawater, has been studied outdoors in two different culture systems: open pond (OP) and tubular photobioreactor (TPR). The productivity in both devices was influenced by areal density. The maximum yield obtained was 12.0 g (d.wt) m–2 day–1 in OP and 14.0 g (d.wt) m–2 day–1 in TPR in August, corresponding to the highest solar radiation received. In a month-long experiment with the cyanobacterium cultivated in TPR at high circulation speed, a net increase in productivity was obtained over that at low circulation speed. The influence of temperature on the productivity of the cultures grown in open ponds and tubular photobioreactors has been investigated. The higher productivity obtained in TPR compared to OP was attributed to its better controlled temperature conditions. In outdoor culture the maximum nitrogenase activity did not coincide with the maximum light intensity, but occurred in early afternoon. The amount of carbohydrate accumulated during the day probably influenced the rate of dark nitrogenase activity and its duration in the night.  相似文献
