A promising alternative is microalgal protein. Therefore, we investigated the protein production capacities of green microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana CY1 and Chlorella vulgaris ESP-31. After optimization, the maximum biomass and protein productivities of Chlorella sorokiniana CY1 reached high values of 4.35 ± 0.09 and 0.856 ± 0.025 g/L/d, while that of Chlorella vulgaris ESP-31 also reached high values of 4.636 ± 0.10 and 0.946 ± 0.065 g/L/d. The cultivation time for both species was only 2 days, wherein Chlorella sorokiniana CY1 and Chlorella vulgaris ESP-31 amassed moderate protein contents of 25.9 ± 1.3 and 26.8 ± 1.3. The optimum conditions for both species were 50 initial nitrate concentration of Basal medium, 5 CO2 aeration, and 750 μmol/m2/s light intensity. The high biomass and protein productivities of both species indicated their capability as potential protein sources. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. date: 2020 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85074966787&doi=10.1016%2fj.bej.2019.107425&partnerID=40&md5=f8c799fc65f955c6c206db5805a9e15d id_number: 10.1016/j.bej.2019.107425 full_text_status: none publication: Biochemical Engineering Journal volume: 154 refereed: TRUE issn: 1369703X citation: Tan, C.H. and Show, P.L. and Lam, M.K. and Fu, X. and Ling, T.C. and Chen, C.-Y. and Chang, J.-S.
