Limits to Growth

  • Nutrients

– N (as nitrate, ammonia, urea) – P – Fe – Si (diatoms)

  • Supply of inorganic C (CO2

/HCO3

  • )
  • Mixing (turbulence & shear)
  • Light (except for heterotrophic culture)
  • Temperature

Dunaliella & β-Carotene

  • β-Carotene formation depends on (a) total

irradiance and (b) salinity

  • Optimum salinity for growth ~ 22% NaCl
  • Optimum salinity for β-Carotene formation

> 30% NaCl

  • Nutrient limitation

1Depends on land & water cost as very large pond area required; 2The range of species which can be cultured is very limited; 3Heterotrophic culture is VERY much cheaper as no light required.
