OSTI ID:7344045

The utilization of pulsed concentrated sunlight to improve the productivity of nostoc muscorum Ag. algae was investigated. In laboratory experiments the greatest accumulation of biomass was found after 5-min irradiation; there was a 10 percent increase in nitrogen fixation. For cultivation under the open sky productivity and nitrogen fixation rose after 10- and 20-min irradiation by pulsed concentrated sunlight.
