Abstract
A technique capable of achieving production of a biological material using photosynthetic microorganisms at low cost is provided. A method of producing a biological material includes culturing photosynthetic microorganisms in a culture medium containing dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate while the photosynthetic microorganisms are irradiated with light to cause the photosynthetic microorganisms to proliferate, and then collecting a substance produced by or accumulated in the photosynthetic microorganisms.

A method of producing a biological material, comprising:
- culturing a photosynthetic microorganism in a culture medium containing dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate while the photosynthetic microorganism is irradiated with light to cause the photosynthetic microorganism to proliferate;
- and
- then collecting a substance produced by or accumulated in the photosynthetic microorganism.
A method of producing a biological material, comprising:
- culturing a photosynthetic microorganism while the photosynthetic microorganism is irradiated with light in a culture medium to cause the photosynthetic microorganism to proliferate;
- then adding dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate to the culture medium;
- further culturing the photosynthetic microorganism in the culture medium containing dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate while the photosynthetic microorganism is irradiated with light to cause the photosynthetic microorganism to further proliferate;
- and
- then collecting a substance produced by or accumulated in the photosynthetic microorganism.
