are photosynthetic microorganisms that use CO </span> <sub> <span style="font-size:14px;">2 </span> </sub> <span style="font-size:14px;"> as carbon source and
sunlight as energy source. Although phototrophic cultivation is widely used in
cyanobacterium production, heterotrophic and mixotrophic cultivations attract
attention among researchers.

whether </span> <i> <span style="font-size:14px;">A. platensis </span> </i> <span style="font-size:14px;">biomass
production could be performed regardless of high light intensity. Biomass,
chlorophyll, lipid and carbohydrate contents were determined by
spectrophotometrically. Also the physicochemical properties of the produced
cyanobacterium were investigated by FTIR, TGA and DSC. </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">  </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">The highest biomass productivity was detected
as 1.33 g/L/day in the medium containing 2.5 mM sucrose and </span> </span> </span> <span class="fontstyle01"> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:14px;" xml:lang="en-gb">the specific growth

medium that contains low sucrose concentrations. Also, this study showed that
sucrose containing medium supports lipid production.  </span> </span> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}
