[en] In this work, the effect of beech (Fagus sylvatica) wood acid hydrolysate on growth of Chlorella sorokin-iana was evaluated. Experiments carried out in this study show that neutralized wood acid hydrolysate can vastly improve Chlorella growth, due to the presence of organic carbon. However, simultaneously the suppression of Chlorella growth at the onset of cultivation was observed, presumably due to inhibitory substances, and this effect was more pronounced with the increase of hydrolysate dosage. Beech wood acid hydrolysate can be a valuable feedstock to stimulate Chlorella growth, on condition that inhibitory level of hydrolysate loading is avoided.
