Salinity experiments were conducted at 14 levels from 0 to 60% under 22 to 25°C, with a 12L:12D photoperiod. The Chlorella population grew well at salinities between 15 and 35%, and the best growth was found at 25%. The algae grew slowly under the salinities of 5, 45, 50, and 55%, but exhibited almost no growth in 0 and 60%. In the case of the temperature experiments, 7 levels, with 5°C intervals, between 14 to 32°C were prepared under a salinity of 25% and a photoperiod of 12L:12D. The algae grew well at 17, 20, and 23°C; but grew slowly at 26, 29, 32 and 14°C. The best growth was found around 20~23°C.}, pages = {257--262}, title = {Effects of Salinity and Temperature on the Growth of the Marine Phytoplankton Chlorella saccharophila}, volume = {30}, year = {} }
