Abstract
Spirulina platensis grew mixotrophically on glucose in the light, enha ncing biomass and pigment production. Under light-limited conditions, biomass production was enhanced by supplemental microbial synthesis fr om heterotrophic metabolism of glucose. Biomass and photosynthetic pig ment production were increased 1.5-2.0-fold compared with those in aut otrophic growth.
