Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a unicellular green microalgae. Normally deriving energy from photosynthesis, with an alternative carbon source, C. reinhardtii can also thrive in total darkness. The relative adaptability and quick generation time has made Chlamydomonas an important model for biological research. Over the years, studies of Chlamydomonas have provided major research contributions in the areas of photosynthesis and molecular biology. C. reinhardtii contains 67% of carbohydrate (54.8% of starch) in the dry weight of algal biomass.1) Most biomass containing starch can be used as a potential substrate for the ethanol fermentation by microbial processes.2) Bioethanol would be an important one of alternative energy sources in post petroleum age. Therefore biomass containing carbohydrates, especially starch would be rise in importance.3) In this study, the pH-stat operation based on acetate/NaOH feeding was established for high cell density culture of starch-rich C. reinhardtii. The biomass concentration was about 3 times higher than that of the control pH-stat operation using HCl and NaOH.
