L-ASCORBIC ACID ENHANCED BIOMASS AND ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

A microalgal biomass containing a high intracellular level of ascorbic acid (greater than 1.5 % of the dry weight of the cells) is produced by growing a mutagenized L-ascorbic acid-producing microalga. Such a biomass is useful as an animal feed and as an aquaculture fish food or corresponding additive.
