Abstract
Some important characteristics ofSpirulina subsalsa var. crassior virieux have been investigated in this article. At the 36°C, the growth rateK of this alga is 0.18 and the yield as high as 48.4 g/m2/d (dry wt). In practice, a yield with 17.7 g/m2/d was reached by mass culture outdoors in the natural conditions of Hangzhou, China. The protein content of this alga was over 50.30% in its dry matter. The composition and content of its amino acids and Superoxide dismutase were analyzed. The results indicate that theSpirulina subsalsa var. is a promising thermophilic species for algal protein production.
