Abstract:Growth pattern and biochemical composition of eleven strains of Chlorella were studied under controlled culture situation. The chemical constituents were analyzed in terms of growth, light use efficiency, pigment and protein. Of eleven species, the C5 strain showed higher growth rate, about 0.031 g/(L?d). The content of soluble protein was 44.73%. The pigment concentration of chlorophyll a and carotenoid was 29.05 mg/g and 15.35 mg/g, respectively.
