Recently, microalgae emerge as strong candidates for the sustainable production of biofuels. In this study, we demonstrated the influence of temperature and light intensity on the growth rate and fatty acid composition of marine microalgae, Isochrysis sp. and Chrollera salina. Cell culture was performed in a 100 mL flask using two kinds of medium (seawater medium and f/2 medium). The change of cell growth rate and fatty acid composition was investigated according to three different temperatures (15, 20, 25 ℃) and four different light intensities (1500, 3000, 4500, 6000 lux). Fatty acid composition was analyzed using gas chromatograph (GC). We expect that this work would contribute to mass production of microalgae by providing information about culture conditions.
