In order to solve the problems including unideal biomass of algae in the algal biofilm and constrain of strong light, the biofilm matrix of attached diatom (Cocconei sp.) was screened, and the constructed Cocconei canvas mesh biofilm with the attached diatom at density of 1×105 ind/mL was cultured in F/2 medium at light intensity of 0, 1, 8, 18, 54, 90 and 126 μmol/(m2·s) at temperature of (20±2) °C and the light period of 12 L∶12 D for 9 days , and then, the effect of illumination intensity on the absorption of ammonium nitrogen at concentration of 0, 20, 60 and 100 mmol·L-1 and the growth of the algae subsequently in this biofilm. The results showed that coarse linen and canvas mesh were more conducive to the apposition growth of Cocconei sp. (P<0.05), with the maximal biomass of (1.80±0.52)×106 ind./mL in canvas mesh. The significant variation in absorption effect of Cocconei sp. on ammonium nitrogen was found under different illumination conditions (P<0.05), with absorption rate of 98.5% by Cocconei sp. at ammonium nitrogen concentration of 20 mmol/L, at illumination intensity 54 μmol/(m2· s) in 96 h. Meanwhile, the absorption rate of 86.7% was observed at ammonium nitrogen concentration of 60 mmol/L, with the Cocconei sp. harvested biomass of (2.90±0.12)×106 ind./mL, and the carotenoid content of (0.520±0.013) mg/mL, which could be used as high quality forage for aquatic animals. The results showed that the substrate was more conducive to the adhesion of Cocconei sp., and the alga biofilm grew in a wide range of light, and had a good ammonia nitrogen absorption capacity of up to 98.3% at light intensity of 18-54 μmol/(m2·s). Therefore, the alga biofilm obtained in the present experiment has good application value.
