Abstract

Isochrysis galbana is a widely-used strain in aquaculture in spite of its low productivity. To maximize the productivity of processes based on this microalgae strain, we have developed a model considering the influence of irradiance, temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen concentration on the photosynthesis and respiration rate. Results demonstrate that this strain tolerates temperatures up to 35°C but it is highly sensitive to irradiances higher than 500μEm-2s-1 and dissolved oxygen concentrations higher than 11mgl-1. We have validated the developed model using data from an industrial-scale outdoor tubular photobioreactor demonstrating that inadequate temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations reduce productivity to half that which is maximal, according to light availability under real outdoor conditions. The developed model is a useful tool for managing working processes, but especially in the development of new processes based on this strain and to take decisions regarding optimal control strategies.
