  The effects of culture conditions at different temperature and light regimes on growth and the contents of chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, total carotenoids, total protein and total free amino acids of Chlorella vulgaris were determined. The growth of C. vulgaris in terms of optical density (0.42 at 670 nm), cell count (440 x 104 cells/ml) and dry weight (30.2 mg/50 ml), and the amount of chlorophyll- a (2.16%), chlorophyll- b (0.59%) and total protein, was found higher at the temperature 25-30°C and natural day light receiving through the north facing window of the growth room. Although, the amount of total carotenoids (0.440%) and free amino acids (834 μg/gm fresh weight) were found maximum in continuous light at 30-35°C, not much differences in the amount of carotenoids (0.385%) and free amino acids (822 μg/gm fresh weight) were found at 25-30°C and natural day ligh..
