Mixotrophic cultivation of chlorella sorokiniana by Tan, Roxanne Luo Shan.

“…It is known that through photosynthesis in plants, light energy is used to build macromolecules such as starch by utilizing inorganic carbon (e.g. CO2) for cell growth; while respiration releases chemical energy via oxidation of these macromolecules for cell division; microalgal cells gain and accumulate biomass.…”
