Considering the significant impact of carbon source as the
main nutrient on the cultivation process of microalgae, this study
focuses on Chlamydomonas microsphaera and explores the changes in
microalgae growth and aggregation under the influence of two organic
carbon sources, glucose and sodium acetate. Research has found that when
sodium acetate with a chemical oxygen demand(COD) of
is added at once, the maximum microalgae aggregation rate is
in a bacterial-algal system with a ratio of bacteria to algae of
, which is 2.2 times that of the pure algae control group and 1.8 times
that of the carbon free control group. Both sodium acetate and glucose
have a promoting effect on the aggregation and growth of microalgae, and
sodium acetate has a better promoting effect than glucose. However, as
the dosage increases, the effect of promoting microalgae aggregation and
growth decreases, and even growth is inhibited. In addition, compared to
one-time addition of carbon sources, batch addition of carbon sources is
more conducive to the growth of microalgae.
