Ochromonassp. (Chrysophyceae) occupies different trophic levels depending on its prevalent nutritional strategy in the field.Ochromonassp. can utilize inorganic and organic carbon to grow photoautotrophically, mixotrophically, and heterotrophically. To examine how exogenous organic carbon influences population growth and photosynthesis inOchromonassp., we culturedOchromonassp. in media with different glucose concentrations (0, 50, 100, and 150 mg L−1) and two treatment modes (single addition of glucose at the beginning and fed-batch mode with repeated addition every 12 h) for 15 days. Results showed that (1) compared to photoautotrophic growth, adding glucose significantly enhanced the growth rate and carrying capacity ofOchromonassp. in a concentration-dependent manner; (2) photosynthesis also increased with glucose addition during the exponential growth stage; (3) repeated glucose addition caused higher biomass and photosynthetic performances than single addition, and (4) with depletion of glucose and the population reaching a stationary stage, photosynthetic parameters decreased slightly but remained at a relatively stable level, which was similar to that of photoautotrophic growth. We conclude that in comparison with pure photoautotrophy, mixotrophic growth can result in higher population growth rate and final biomass in a shorter time, especially in fed-batch cultures, indicating that this would be a highly efficient way for mass cultivation of the flagellateOchromonas.
