Phosphorus has been considered as one of the most important limiting resources of large-scale production of microalgal biofuel. The approaches to increase biomass yield per phosphorus, along with the lipid accumulation properties of Scenedesmus sp. LX1, were investigated in this study. It was found that practical biomass yield per phosphorous was reduced with the increase of initial phosphorus (P) concentration, but increased with light intensity. The highest biomass yield per P of 4,500 kg-biomass/kg-P was achieved at initial phosphorus concentration of 0.05 mg · L⁻¹ under the light intensity of 320 μmol photon · m⁻² · s⁻¹. Furthermore, the lipid content per biomass and triacylglycerols (TAGs) content per lipid were found to be positively correlated to biomass yield per P. With the biomass yield increased from 2,800 kg-biomass/kg-P to 4,500 kg-biomass/kg-P, the lipid content per microalgal biomass and TAG content per lipid increased from 18.7 % to 35.0 % and from 69.5 % to 83.0 %. These results suggested a possible approach to achieve high biomass production and high lipid content simultaneously.
