Abstract
Clonal cultures of Prorocentrum hoffmannianum Faust (clone 882a) were grown under optimal environmental conditions for maximal okadaic acid production. The environmental conditions of 25-degrees-C and 86 mumol photon m-2 s-1 were used to cultivate P. hoffmannianum in a semi-conti nuous 36-L culture vessel with continuous cell suspension and pH contr ol. Using these conditions, a 3-fold increase in harvestable biomass a nd okadaic acid content was observed when compared to batch culture te chniques.
