T
he increasing trend of atmospheric CO
2
concentration is still significant in the world. Therefore, CO
2
elimination by
photosynthetic microorganisms, one of green technology in this issue, is worthy to be developed. In this regard, two
microalgae species was isolated from seawater nearby power plant in Southern Taiwan and compared their potential on CO
2
elimination and nitrogen affinity in advance. The higher one potential species on CO
2
elimination was used as candidate to
see the valued byproducts content under nitrogen deprivation. The results show the maximal growth rate is over 4 d-1 and
the nitrogen affinity constant is only 0.03 mM. In addition, the carbohydrate content is over 70% and productivity is about
0.7 g/L/d. This information reveals the species isolated in this study can be used as one of applied microbiology for CO
2
elimination and bioethanol precursor production.
