Abstract
The growth capabilities of three highly-CO2-tolerant microalgae under high concentrations of CO2 were compared for their tolerance to SO2 and NO, the major inhibitory compounds present in flue gases. Although all strains showed good growth with 15% CO2, Chlorella KR-1 exhibited the most desirable properties for CO2 fixation among the strains compared. While Chlorella sp. HA-1 exhibited the best tolerance to NO among the algal strains tested, Chlorella sp. KR-1 showed higher tolerance to SO2 than the other two strains tested.
