Biomass Fatty Acid Profile and Fuel Property Prediction of Bagasse Waste Grown Nannochloropsis oculata

The Chrythophyta alga Nannochloropsis oculata was mixotrophically grown in artificial media enriched with acid-prehydrolyzed bagasse waste as a source of organic carbon. used growth medium composed F2 nutrients, sea salt (22.0 g L−1), and extract dissolved sterile tap water. All the determined parameters resulted their maximums, fed 25% 10% extract, while bagasse-extract-free engaged total chlorophyll carotenes at expense dry weight accumulation during vegetative period. On contrary, under induction slightly differed among different employed treatments; however, all treatments surpassed control one, variation obviously found cases carotene. A slight increase oil content (6.19–11.89%) observed, cells were conditions. fatty acids ranged between C16 C20, proportions SFA MUFA increased from sum 63.57% to 88.31%, PUFA, including linoleic acid, α-linolenic arachidonic declined 36.3 11.69%. Concerning fuel properties, induction-produced one.
