Abstract

Greenhouse effect,mainly due to the increasing of CO2 in the atmosphere,has caused climate changes as well as many other negative environmental problems and it is drawing a lot of attention. This paper introduces the progresses made in the research of high-CO2-tolerant-algae,about which the growth, biophysical and biochemical status and the regulation on molecular levels were systematically studied under the extremely high CO2 condition. And it further discusses its application in CO2 sequestration strategy with the combination of biocarbon fixation technology,and this new thought is very helpful for resdving the problems that the Greenhouse effect brings.
