RESUMO

This study aimed at evaluating the best conditions for lipid accumulation in the marine microalga Nannochloropsis oculata in an airlift photobioreactor. Experiments were carried out following a central composite design with the following variables: temperature (19 to 29°C), sodium nitrate concentration (NaNO3) in the culture medium (f/2) (25 to 125 mg.L-1) and incident light intensity (49 to 140 µE.m-2s-1). The maximum lipid production was 132.4 mg.L-1 under the following conditions: 27°C, NaNO3 concentration 105 mg.L-1 and 122 µE.m-2.s-1, which was 30% of dry weight of the biomass.
