Laboratory-Scale Algae Culture Service
As a common species of organism on Earth, algae have been used in many fields of industry and scientific research because of their rich chemical composition and content of bioactive substances, as well as their simple and standard genetic system. The laboratory-scale algae culture is an effective way to conduct algae-related research.
Lifeasible is dedicated to algae cultivation, research, and development projects. We are able to provide specialized laboratory-scale algae culture service for your project.
Different Trophic Patterns of Algae
Because energy and carbon sources are the basis for the growth of all organisms, algae are divided into 4 classes by the different trophic models.
| Nutrient Pattern | The Source of Energy | The Source of Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Photosynthetic Autotrophs | Light | Carbon Dioxide |
| Photosynthetic Heterotrophic | Light | Organic Compounds |
| mixotrophic/parthenogenic heterotrophs | Light | Carbon Dioxide and Organic Compounds |
| Chemoheterotrophic | Organic Compounds | Organic Compounds |
Growth Patterns of Algae
Nowadays, more than 40 models for predicting algal productivity have been described in the literature, which assess the effects of light, temperature, and endogenous respiration on algal growth.
All growth models include five growth stages of algae, including lag phase, exponential phase, declining growth phase, stationary phase, and death phase.
- Lag Phase
The condition of the inoculum has a significant effect on the duration of the lag period. Typically, the length of the lag phase is proportional to the length of time from the declining growth phase to the death phase. - Exponential Phase
The duration of the exponential phase depends on the growth rate and the ability of the medium and culture conditions to support the growth of the algae. - Declining Growth Phase
During this phase, biomass is usually very high and growth decline usually occurs when the specific demands of cell division are restricted or something else inhibits reproduction, such as depletion of nutrient salts, CO2 limitation, or light limitation. - Stationary Phase
When the net growth is zero, the culture enters a stationary phase and within a few hours, the cells may undergo dramatic biochemical changes. The nature of these changes depends on the factors limiting growth. - Death Phase
The death phase of a culture is usually very rapid when the metabolism can no longer be maintained.
