The invention provides a common 
chlorella, which is 
chlorella C9-JN2010 with the preservation number of CCTCC NO: M2010373; and the invention further provides a culturing method of the common 
chlorella. The culturing method comprises the following steps: using secondary outlet water, which is obtained by treating 
municipal sewage and / or industrial 
sewage in a 
sewage treatment 
plant, as a culture medium; and culturing the chlorella after the chlorella is inoculated, wherein the initial inoculating density is 1.0 multiplied by 107 cfu / ml-6.0 multiplied by 107 cfu / ml, and the culturing conditionis that the 
light cycle is 10h:14h-16h:8h, the 
light intensity is 5000-15000 
lux, the culturing temperature is 20-30 DEG C, the pH value is 6.5-8.5, the CO2 gas 
throughput is 0.01-0.2 VVm, and the CO2 concentration is 15.0%-30.0% (v / v). The invention further provides an application of the common chlorella in 
sewage treatment and 
oil production. The common chlorella provided by the invention has the advantages of strong CO2 tolerance and high production strength; through the adoption of the culturing method provided by the invention, the 
sewage treatment and the production of the biological energy are combined with other side products (such as proteins, cosmetic raw materials, and animal feeds), so that the production cost is reduced, the waste resources are comprehensively utilized as well as the energy-saving and emission reducing 
green production is realized; and the culturing method provided by the invention has the advantages of skillful and 
special design as well as suitability for being popularized and applied on a large scale.
