    Screening for heterotrophy in microalgae of various taxonomic positions and potential of mixotrophy for production of high-value compounds

    We tested 37 photoautotrophic microalgal strains of various taxonomic positions for their heterotrophic growth on glucose. We showed that facultative heterotrophy was quite common among certain groups of green...

    Production of lipids and formation and mobilization of lipid bodies in Chlorella vulgaris

    We investigated the formation of lipid bodies in the microalga Chlorella vulgaris CCALA 256 under lipid-induction conditions in autotrophically grown cultures. We found that cell division ceased after depletion o...
