Effect of culturing parameters on the vegetative growth ofHaematococcus alpinus(strain lcr‐cc‐261f) and modeling of its growth kinetics

The present study investigated the effect of different culture conditions on the vegetative growth of a new species, Haematococcus alpinus (strain LCR ‐ CC ‐261f) using airlift photobioreactors. The influence of culture medium, aeration rates, CO 2 concentration in air‐gas mixture, temperature, light intensities, and wavelengths were investigated to achieve sustainable high cell density cultures. Growth parameters were determined by fitting the...
