Patent

CA 2748917

The invention provides methods that enhance the production of biomass from algae that grow autotrophically, heterotrophically, or photoheterotrophically, through the use of plant growth regulators (such as growth hormones, indole acidic acid, etc.) and hormone mimics (phenoxyacetic compounds, etc.). The plant growth regulators or mimics thereof may further increase the proportion of the desired value-added products, such as biodiesel or starch, in the algae culture or the harvested biomass.

La présente invention concerne des procédés de stimulation de la production de biomasse à partir d'algues à développement autotrophe, hétérotrophe ou photohétérotrophe, procédés faisant appel à des régulateurs de croissance des plantes (par exemple des hormones de croissance, de l'acide indole-acétique, etc.) et à des analogues d'hormones (composés phénoxyacétiques, etc.). Les régulateurs de croissance des plantes ou leurs analogues peuvent entraîner une augmentation encore plus importante de la proportion, dans les algues cultivées ou dans la biomasse récoltée, des produits à valeur ajoutée recherchés, comme le biodiesel ou l'amidon.
