Spirulina maxima

At Lake Texcoco, Mexico, bicarbonate is available in the alkaline waters from soda ash [497-19-8] (sodium carbonate) deposits (see Alkali and CHLORINE products). This supply of carbon is adequate for growing Spirulina maxima which tolerates alkaline pH values in the range 9—11 (37,38). Combustion gases have been used to grow this organism, but this carbon source is not available in many regions (49).

The microalga Arthrospira (Spirulina) maxima, along with other lipids, is capable of producing high y-linolenic acid (GLA) content. The studies by Mendes et al. " showed that the highest GLA yields are attained by supercritical extraction at 35 MPa and 60 °C with a mixture of CO2 and 10% ethanol (molar) (0.44% GLA referred to dry matter).
