AbstractThe feasibility of substituting 50% nutrients by aqueous phase liquid (APL), derived from hydrothermal liquefaction of Tetraselmis sp. biomass, in a semi-continuous cultivation of Tetraselmis sp. was studied. Growth experiments were conducted in indoor photobioreactor and outdoor raceway tank for three consecutive cycles. At the end of exponential growth pahse, 75% of the culture was harvested, and the supernatant was returned to the cultivation system. For control cultures, fresh nutrients were added; however, for the experimental cultures, an appropriate volume of APL was added to replace half of the nutrients. Either indoor or outdoor, the growth rate and biomass yield in APL-added cultures were either equal or slightly better compared to control culture; although APL had little to no effect on the metabolite content of Tetraselmis sp., metabolites profile of Tetraselmis sp. varied between APL-added and control cultures. Nevertheless, 50% nutrients requirements for microalgae cultivation could be replaced by APL. 2019 Elsevier Ltd
