The result showed that air injection enhanced the biomass concentration, however, high air injection rate did not cause the increasing of growth and biomass concentration. The best air injection rate for saving injection energy among 5 to 65 L/min was 15 L/min. Besides, lipid content was not affected by different air injection rates. Three nitrogen concentrations which are standard, double and triple nitrogen concentrations of Lefebvre-czarda medium were tested. The result of nitrogen effect indicated that the lipid content was enhanced by low medium nitrogen concentration. The highest biomass concentration and lipid content were obtained in standard medium nitrogen concentration of Lefebvre-czarda medium. © 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd. date: 2016 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85014009930&doi=10.1016%2fj.proeng.2016.06.508&partnerID=40&md5=acfc9e312307182b1a70530cd4863a3d id_number: 10.1016/j.proeng.2016.06.508 full_text_status: none publication: Procedia Engineering volume: 148 pagerange: 538-545 refereed: TRUE issn: 18777058 citation: Thanh, N.T. and Uemura, Y. and Krishnan, V. and Ismail, L.
