The effects of three nitrogen sources(NaNO3, NH4Cl and NH4NO3) and N/P on cell growth, total lipid content and fatty acid composition of marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata were investigated in this paper. Results show that when N/P increased from 10 to 90, a slightly effect on cell growth was observed, and total lipid content was maintained at ca. 20% of dry weight. 16∶0, 16∶1n 9 and 20∶5n 3 (EPA) were the dominant fatty acids, about 70% 80% of total fatty acids. The maximal ratio of 20∶5n 3 and PUFAs composition in total fatty acid were obtained at ca. 30% and 35% respectively in a medium of N/P20. Among the three nitrogen sources, a higher growth rate and ca. 30% of EPA to total fatty acid were obtained at a relatively lower N/P ratio at 54 with NaNO3. Thus, NaNO3 was the best nitrogen source for cell growth, synthesis and accumulation of EPA in N. oculata. It was also shown that EPA content could be increased to ca. 35% in medium with 4 times of exogenous nutrient salts to the control. It is indicated that cells were constantly at a rapid growth and EPA rich stage in culture medium rich in nitrogen and phosphate, and it was also the key step for the high yield of EPA in mass culture of this species.
