Abstract
In this study, the influences of different types of sunlight conversion film (SCF) on biomass, extracellular polysaccharide (EPS), and photosynthetic pigment and protein production of Nostoc flagelliforme in outdoors cultivation were investigated. The results showed that, compared with control group, SCF 40#, 34#, 39# significantly improved the production of biomass, chlorophyll a, and phycobiliproteins; SCF 41# promoted the biomass and phycobiliproteins production but inhibited the chlorophyll a formation; all the SCFs greatly promoted the EPS production except the 34# and 47#; Although there are no significant difference between the control group and SCF 34# or 36#, SCF 34#, 36# both significantly increased the crude protein content of N. flagelliforme compared with the other SCF treatments. Particularly, both the biomass and EPS production reached the highest under the use of SCF 41#, which were increased by 20.35 and 63.15% compared with control group, respectively. This study proved that application of SCF on microalgal culture was feasible, and the results would shed light on novel culture strategies for outdoor cultivation of microalgae.
