Abstract
Microalgae cannot meet the bait demand for aquaculture due to light intensity limitation and other disadvantageous conditions. This research selected 6 mixotrophic microalgae, and the optimal strains and organic carbon were screened. The results showed that Thalassiosira pseudonana and Chlorella sp. are suitable for mixotrophic culture. The maximum cell density of Thalassiosira pseudonana was found to be 1.67 times than that of the photoautotrophic group when glycerol was added. The maximum cell density of Chlorella sp. with acetic acid was 1.69 times than that of the photoautotrophic group. When the concentration of acetic acid was 5.0 g·L-1 and the concentration of KNO3 was 0.2 g·L-1, the maximum biomass of Chlorella sp. could reach 3.54 × 107 cells·mL−1; the maximum biomass of Thalassiosira pseudonana was 5.53 × 106 cells·mL−1 with 10.0 g·L-1 glycerol and 0.2 g·L-1 KNO3. Metabolomic analysis further revealed that mixotrophic bait microalgae could promote the accumulation of lipids and amino acids.
