Abstract:Glycerol is a carbon source that produces good biomass under mixotrophic conditions. Enhancing the composition of culture media in algae biomass production improves growth rates, biomass yield, nutrient utilization efficiency, and overall cost-effectiveness. Among the key nutrients in the medium, nitrogen plays a pivotal role. Urea can be effectively used as a nitrogen source and is considered a low-cost form of nitrogen compared to other sources. Urea metabolism releases some CO2 in photosynthesis, and magnes… Show more
