Chlorella is a genus of about thirteen species of single- celled or colonial green algae of the division Chlorophyta. The cells are spherical in shape, about 2 to 10 μm in diameter, and are without flagella. Their chloroplasts contain the green photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll-a and -b.

Chlorella vulgaris is a species of green microalga in the division Chlorophyta. [3] . This unicellular alga was discovered in 1890 by Martinus Willem Beijerinck [4] as the first microalga with a well-defined nucleus. [3] . It is the type species of the genus Chlorella. [5] .

Chlorella sp. and Spirulina (Arthrospira) sp. have the potential to replace fish oil and fish meal in diets, enhancing growth and meat quality, stimulating immunity, and improving the pigmentation in various fish species [26,51,52,53,54,55]. They promote growth in a variety of species, including carp, tilapia, Asian seabass, and Nile tilapia.

2021年12月1日 · Chlorella sp. Mg is a newly isolated green microalgal strain capable of utilizing exogenous glucose as a carbon source for high production of lutein and alpha-linolenic acid (Gong and Huang, 2020).

2.2 Chlorella sp. Chlorella is a spherical single-cell nonmotile organism, and its diameter ranges from 2 to 10 μm. It has a high growth rate and relatively cheap growth medium for large-scale production in open raceway ponds and photobioreactors (Borowitzka, 1999).

Chlorella, genus of green algae (family Chlorellaceae) found either singly or clustered in fresh or salt water and in soil. Chlorella has been extensively used in photosynthetic studies, in mass cultivation experiments, and for purifying sewage effluents.

2024年5月13日 · Chlorella is a green algae rich in chlorophyll, just like its cousin spirulina. Chlorella benefits include helping with detoxification from heavy metals and conventional cancer treatments, boosting the immune system and skin health, helping with weight loss, lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and fighting cancer.

2021年11月23日 · Chlorella sp. is well-known as a functional feed in fish culture and has been utilized in the food industry. In phototrophic cultivation, photoperiod plays a fundamental part in the growth and...

Chlorella is a single-celled green algae that belongs to the division Chlorophyta. The genus has thirteen known species. The name Chlorella has been taken from the Greek word chlōros/ khlōros, meaning green and the suffix ella from Latin meaning small.

Chlorella autotrophica, or Chlorella sp. (580), is a species of euryhaline, unicellular microalga in the Division Chlorophyta. It is found in brackish waters and was first isolated in 1956 by Ralph A. Lewin. [1] The species is defined by its inability to use organic carbon as a food source, making the species an obligate autotroph. [2]
