This Demonstration shows a plot of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (algae) growth and neutral lipid accumulation versus time, for variations in initial ammonium ion concentration in a batch photobioreactor. This can be applied to optimize the amount of nitrogen to be added to the batch to produce maximum algal biomass yield and maximum neutral lipid.
