Abstract

The algal strain with highly efficient in fixing CO 2 , Chlorella sp. UK001, was isolated. The cells showed tolerance to high temperature and high CO 2 concentration, making the strain advantageous in fixing CO 2 in flue gas from power plants. In the experimental small scale cultures, the CO 2 fixation rates of the alga exceeded the target value of lgCO 2 /l/day at l0hr illumination so as to simulate the actual daylight period. The biomass produced by the cells can be used as feed for poultry or swine.
