“…This possibly occurred due to the large amount of nitrogen in the medium since some studies conducted by our research group (Castro et al, 2015) demonstrated that the concentration of sodium nitrate (nitrogen source) in the Zarrouk medium is very high. Colla et al (2007), showed that at a temperature close to that used in the present study (30°C), the absorption of nitrogen appears to be limited, once experiments with higher concentrations of sodium nitrate (1.875 and 2.500 g.L -1 ) showed no increase in the level of protein.…”

There has been an increase in investment in research on new sources of natural pigments for food application. Some cyanobacteria can change the structures responsible for light harvesting and cellular processes according to the wavelength and light intensity. This phenomenon has been described as complementary chromatic adaptation. The present study aimed to investigate the growth of Arthrospira platensis using different light qualities, irradiance, and wavelength by evaluating the production of biomass, proteins, and phycobiliproteins. The occurrence of the chromatic adaptation phenomenon in this cyanobacterium was also investigated. The microorganism used in this study, A. platensis, was grown in a Zarrouk medium under three irradiance levels, 50, 100, and 150 μmol fotons.m ). There was no difference in the production of total protein and total phycobiliproteins under the studied conditions. It is likely that the large supply of nitrogen in the Zarrouk medium was sufficient for cell growth and maintenance, and it supplied the production of accessory pigments composed of protein. Finally, there was no evidence of the complementary chromatic adaptation phenomenon in A. platensis cultivated under green light. Moreover, this condition did not increase phycocyanin production.

“…Furthermore, they modified Zarrouk's mediumas urea subsituation [42]. In several researches, nitrogen starvation increased the lipid fraction of some microalgaes such as S. platesis [43][44][45][46]. Rodrigues et al [35] concluded cyanobacteria initially used the nitrogen source of medium for the cells growth.…”

“…However, there are challenges in growing cyanobacteria. One of them is the high cost of culture medium (deCastro et al, 2015). Large amount of media is needed in extensive practical studies for cultivation, streak plate or pour plate and other experiments but low cost media is less available.…”

Fruit peels are usually disposed of or treated as fertilizer. The peel, however, contains rich nutrients that can be used as a medium for growing microbes. Conventional culture medium is widely used for growing microbes, but the cost is very high and it is not suitable to produce cyanobacterium-based biofuel, biomass, and in other applications. Therefore, this study explores the potential for using fruit peels as a culture medium for Anabaena cylindrica. The fruit peels were dried, homogenized, and filtered to make different concentrations of fruit peel media (5%, 10% and 20%). For comparison, BG-11 medium acted as a positive control whereas deionized water serves as a negative control in this experiment. Growth of A. cylindrica in different types of media was analyzed after cell counting using a hemacytometer and biomass measuring. The cyanobacterial growth rate and biomass production were recorded in different types of fruit peel media with different concentrations. A. cylindrica have greater biomass yield when growing in 20% papaya peel medium and a higher growth rate when growing in 10% pineapple peel media compared to that growing in the BG-11 medium. In other words, the fruit peel media have more potential in growing cyanobacteria than conventional medium.
