To maximize the production rate of Chlorella zofingiensis, a lumostatic continuous culture was operated under light intensities of 250–1510 μE m− 2 s− 1. The cell density and volumetric biomass production rate were increased without photo inhibition and reached 13.5 g-dry weight (dw) L− 1 on day 21....
