Abstract
Spirulina platensis was cultured at 278–323 K to investigate the effects of temperature on its specific growth rate and specific autolysis rate. The specific growth rate of S. platensis was maximal at around 305 K, zero or negative at temperatures of 288 K or 313 K, but in both cases growth was observed when the cultivation temperature was returned to 303 K. The specific autolysis rate constant of S. platensis increased with decreasing temperature.
