Mixotrophic cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris using industrial dairy waste as organic carbon source

► Cheese whey was used as carbon source for Chlorella vulgaris growth. ► Mixotrophic microalgae grew faster than photoautotrophic cells. ► Maximum starch productivity was achieved under mixotrophic conditions. ► Highest pigment content (0.74%) was obtained in the photoautotrophic culture. Growth par...
