Carbon dioxide (CO2) and pH are two interdependent factors that greatly impact the growth and lipid accumulation of microalgae. However, the effects of these two factors are usually studied separately. The use of exogenous CO2, such as flue gas derived, to regulate pH in the large-scale cultivation of microalgae provides an ideal means for combining CO2biofixation and biodiesel production. In this study, the CO2biofixation and lipid production of oleaginous microalgaGraesiellasp. WBG1 was explored for four pH levels regulated by exogenous 15% CO2(flue gas concentration) in 10 L circular culture ponds and 5 m2open raceway reactors. Results revealed that pH 8.0–9.0 was the optimum pH for CO2fixation and lipid production, attaining the highest CO2fixation rates of 0.26 g L− 1day− 1and 18.9 g m− 2day− 1, respectively, lipid contents of 46.28% and 32.38%, and lipid productivities of 64.8 mg L− 1day− 1and 3.14 g m− 2day− 1. A positive correlation between CO2utilization efficiency and pH in open reactors was also suggested in this research, and thus provides direction for screening of CO2fixation by microalgae. The present study provides an excellent strategy for coupling CO2fixation and lipid production via microalgae in large-scale cultivation.
