Characterization of Chlorella sorokiniana and Chlorella vulgaris fatty acid components under a wide range of light intensity and growth temperature for their use as biological resources.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to characterize the potential of three strains of microalgal species (Chlorella sorokiniana KNUA114 and KNUA122; C. vulgaris KNUA104) for use as feedstock, based on their fatty acid compositions. Each strain was molecularly identified using four marker genes (ITS, SSU, rbcL, and tufA) and phylogenetically characterized. C. sorokiniana and C. vulgaris collected from Ulleung Island, South Korea, were homologous with other known species groups. Samples' fatty acid components were measured using GC/MS analysis in growth temperatures of 10 °C, 25 °C, and 35 °C. The growth rate of C. sorokiniana strains was higher than that of C. vulgaris under high-temperature conditions, confirming the potential industrial ap
