Effects of NO and $SO_2$ on Growth of $Highly-CO_2-Tolerant$ Microalgae

  • Published : 2000.06.01

Abstract

The growth capabilities of three $highly-CO_2-tolerant$ microalgae under high concentrations of $CO_2$ were compared for their tolerance to $SO_2$ and NO, the major inhibitory compounds present in flue gases. Although all strains showed good growth with 15% $CO_2$, Chlorella KR-1 exhibited the most desirable properties for $CO_2$ fixation among the strains compared. While Chlorella sp. HA-1 exhibited the best tolerance to NO among the other strains tested, Chlorella sp. KR-1 showed higher tolerance to $SO_2$ than the other two strains tested.
