【 摘 要 】

The potential of halotolerant algae isolated from natural resources was used to study CO₂ fixation and algal lipid production. Biological fixation of CO₂ in photobioreactor in presence of salinity is exploited. The CO₂ concentration 1060 ppm gave the highest biomass yield (700 mg dry wt/l), the highest total lipid content (10.33%) with 80% of CO₂ removal.
