The culture experiments of a maine centric diatom,
Chaetoceros calcitrans f. pumilus TAKANO, were undertaken with compressed flasks of 100m
l in volume under the following conditions:
Temperature: 18.0-22.0°C, specific gravity of experimental culture medium containing the optimum value (52.6mgN/
l) of KNO
3: 23.44-25.40(σ
15), light intensity of white fluorescent tube (National Hi-light) for culture: 2.5Klx (the radiant energy from the range of 400 to 700nm in light wave length was 4.3W and that from the whole light length wave was 23.3W), and bubbling volume: 1.5
l/
l/min.
The results obtained were summarized as follows:
1.The effective value of Na
2HPO
4 added to medium for increasing of ce11 numbers or packed cell volume (P.C.V.) of this diatom was 4.17-10.8mg P/
l and its optimum value was 8.68mgP/
l.
2. The optimum value of Na
2HPO
4 added to medium for the increasing of P.C.V. was 8.68mgP/
l. The increasing rate of P.C.V. in medium added 8.68mgP/
l of Na
2HPO
4 was lower than that of cell numbers observed in the same medium.
3. In the medium added more 13.0mgP/
l of Na
2HPO
4, the flochs with many diatom cells occurred and the growth was inhibited.
4. The N-P ratio of 12.6 in mg-atoms ratio or 6.06 in mg ratio seems to be the optimum N-P ratio for the excellent growth (increasings of cell numbers and P.C.V.)of this diatom.
