Abstract

New microalgae were isolated as candidates for CO 2 fixing biocatalyst. A new species of marine green alga, Chlorococcum littorale, exhibited the greatest CO 2 fixation rate among the isolates, r g CO 2 I −1 d −1 at pCO 2 0.2. A unicellular red alga, Galdieria partita, showed the growth at pH 1, pCO 2 1, 50 °C, and 50 ppm SO 2 aeration. A newly identified Prasinophyte, Prasinococcus capsulatus, produced a large amount of extracellular polysaccharide that could be utilized as useful resources.
