Optimization of Growth of Spirulina Platensis Ln1 for Production of Carotenoids

نویسنده

  • M Thirumala
چکیده

Growth of Spirulina platensis LN1 was observed using eight different media consisting of different combinations of Lonar lake water, N, P and K and Zarrouk medium composition under different incubation periods. Medium II was suitable on 9th day of incubation and medium III was suitable on 15th day of incubation for its growth whereas, 12th day of incubation was shown to be suitable for its growth in remaining media. Optimization of growth of Spirulina platensis was observed at 35 0 C temperature and pH 10. Carotenoids of Spirulina platensis were also analysed.

Changes in antioxidant systems and biomass in response to selenate in blue-green microalgae Spirulina platensis, Cyanophyta

The effects of selenium (Se) on the growth and antioxidant activity in Spirulina platensis were investigated. S. platensis was grown in zarrouk medium containing three different concentrations of selenate (Na2SeO4) (0 as a control, 5 and 10 mg l-1) for 7 days. Selenate at the concentration of 5 mg l-1was found to improve S. platensis growth. However, selenate was toxic to S. platensis at the co...
