Impact of Cell Size, Light Wavelengths, and Intensities on Growth, Oxygen Production, and Consumption Rates of Chromochloris zofingiensis and Haematococcus lacustris
Ugwu Godwin Chigozie, Ayumi Hashiguchi, Hideaki Nagare
This study investigates how light intensity and wavelength affect growth and oxygen exchange in two microalgae species, showing blue light benefits C. zofingiensis while red light benefits H. lacustris due to differences in cell size and surface area-to-volume ratio.
