The cultivation of Chlorella DPK-01 in tubular photobioreactors (PBRs) with difference in time of audible sound exposure was done. The study aims to evaluate the effect of difference in time of audible sound exposure in tubular PBRs to the growth and lipid percentage of microalgae Chlorella DPK-01. This study was using three groups of Chlorella DPK-01 PBRs. One group was control group and not exposed to any sound (Control-PBR), one group was exposed to audible sound in the light (PBR-A), and another group was exposed to audible sound in the dark (PBR-B). Each group consists of three units of PBR. The audible sound (279.9 Hz sine wave) was played in the light for PBR-A and in the dark for PBR-B. The observation period was 14 days. The growth rate of Chlorella DPK-01 was 47.6% per day (Control-PBR), 0.44 per day (PBR-A), and 0.55 per day (PBR-B) respectively. Meanwhile, the lipid percentage of Chlorella DPK-01 was 16% (Control-PBR), 31% (PBR-A), and 11% (PBR-B) respectively. Therefore, exposing audible sound in the light and in the dark may differently affect the growth and lipid production of Chlorella DPK-01.
The cultivation of Subang Isolated Scenedesmus in tube-shaped photobioreactors (PBRs) with the exposure of audible sound (music) was done. The study was done to know the effect of different music to the growth and culture appearance of Subang Isolated Scenedesmus. Subang Isolated Scenedesmus itself is Indonesia’s indigenous microalgae from Subang, West Java. This study was using three groups of Subang Isolated Scenedesmus PBRs. One group was control group and not exposed to any sound (Control-PBR), one group was exposed to music called “Blues for Elle” (PBR-A), and another group was exposed to music called “Bloom” (PBR-B). Based on 8 days of observation, it is known that Subang isolated Scenedesmus in PBR-A has the highest average cell density at the peak phase (1.81±0.16 x 105 cells/mL), highest growth rate (26.22 % per day), and most intense green color compared to Subang isolated Scenedesmus in PBR-B and Control-PBR. Related-Samples Friedman’s Two-Way ANOVA by Ranks test has proven that the average cell density value of Subang isolated Scenedesmus in Control-PBR, PBR-A, and PBR-B are not the same (α = 95%, sig = 0.013). Therefore, different audible sound (music) with certain intensity and frequency may affect the growth of Subang Isolated Scenedesmus differently
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
