Abstract
The influence of light intensity reduction on Spirulina platensis cultivation was investigated, using urea and KNO3 as nitrogen sources. The reduction of light intensity from 5 to 2 klux was studied both on the 9th and the 13th day of cultivation. Increases of up to 29% in the total chlorophyll production were observed for the cultivations with light intensity reduction, in comparison with the cultivations carried out at fixed light intensities.
