Abstract
Addition of a cereal protein hydrolysate increased the growth rate and biomass producivity of Spirulina. Net oxygen production rate measurem ents from outdoor culture samples indicated that the photosynthetic ca pacity of the alga changed throughout the light period. Daily reductio n in the OPR correlated with the growth of the cultures. These studies indicated that measurement of the reduction in net OPR can serve as a n indicator of the performance of the culture.
