| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Microalgae Growth-Promoting Bacteria (MGPB) were isolated from some microalgae including Chlorella vulgaris and Euglena gracilis. Some strains of isolated MGPB increased microalgae growth rate more than 3 times. Some MGPB strains also increased chlorophyll synthesis rate and photosynthesis rate of microalgae more than 2 times. Nitrogen-containing compound produced by MGPB might be involved in these microalgae growth promotion. We demonstrated that the use of MGPB in microalgae culture reactor can improve the efficiency of microalgae biomass and oil productions.
