Nitrogen availability directly affects the microalgal metabolism. A thermophilic cyanobacterium named Thermosynechococcus CL-1 was cultivated in a continuous system to evaluate the effects of NO3 fluxes on the biomass production, bioenergy production, and CO2 fixation. The results show that decreasing the NO3 flux to a N-deprived level (1.01 mM/d) enhances the carbohydrate content in TCL-1 to 4...
