摘要:
The invention provides methods that enhance the production of biomass from algae that grow autotrophically, heterotrophically, or photoheterotrophically, through the use of plant growth regulators (such as growth hormones, indole acidic acid, etc.) and hormone mimics (phenoxyacetic compounds, etc.). The plant growth regulators or mimics thereof may further increase the proportion of the desired value-added products, such as biodiesel or starch, in the algae culture or the harvested biomass.

摘要:
In algae, the conditions for optimal production of biomass are different than the optimal conditions for oil/lipid production. Conventional processes require that both steps be optimized simultaneously which is necessarily sub optimal. The invention provides systems and processes for optimizing each type of production separately and independently, thereby improving overall production of oil, lipids and other useful products. This process is advantageous because it allows the optimization of the individual steps and growth phases in the production of oil from biomass. This allows the use of different feedstocks for various process steps.
