✦ Synopsis

In the outdoor cyclic fed batch cultures of Chlorella pyrenoidosa, some typical growth kinetics patterns in unstable weather conditions were observed. On cloudy days, the biomass output rate (R) was low, but the bioenergetic growth yield (v) was generally high. In the cloudy morning-sunny afternoon condition, the values of Ywere low, especially in the afternoon. In the sunny morning-cloudy afternoon condition, both Rand Ywere high. A few very high short-term Y values were measured during the cloudy afternoon.
