However, microalgae-based biofuels are not economically feasible and many efforts are in progress worldwide to achieve this goal. Here we report the effects of cultivation with input of pure CO 2 on the growth, nutrient uptake, and chemical composition of two marine microalgae: Chlorella sp. and Nannochloropsis oculata. Chlorella sp. grew more with addition of CO 2 , but no difference was detected in the experiments performed with N. oculata. Both species showed an efficient consumption of dissolved nitrate and phosphate, and the nutrient uptake tended to be faster in the experiments with input of carbon dioxide. Carbohydrates were the most abundant substances in both species, and their concentrations increased dramatically in Chlorella sp. in the experiment with CO 2 . Protein and lipid contents were relatively low in both microalgae, and these substances did not increase with the addition of CO 2 . Results s...
