N2 - Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid productivities from chemostat cultures of an isolate of Isochrysis galbana have been studied. The productivities reached in the interval of dilution rates between 0.0295 h-1 and 0.0355 h-1 were 1.5mg·1-1·h-1 for lipids, 300 μg·1-1·h-1 for EPA and 130μg1·1-1·h-1 for DHA. Furthermore, light attenuation by mutual shading, and agitation speed influences on growth and fatty acid composition were analysed. A model relating steady-state dilution rates to internal average light intensity has been proposed, the parameter values of which obtained by non-linear regression were: maximum specific growth rate (μmax)=0.0426 h-1; the affinity of cells to light (Ik) = 10.92 W·m-2; the exponent (n) = 5.13; regression coefficient (r2)=0.9999.
