Abstract:In Scenedesmus obliquus culture, the effects of different nitrogen and carbon sources and saline stress on total carotenoids, total proteins and total phenols contents were investigated. Microalgae in Allen & Arnon culture medium were cultivated, until reaching the stationary phase. Then, sodium nitrate or urea as nitrogen source and sodium acetate or glucose as carbon source, were incorporated. Additionally, sodium chloride was added for cause saline stress. Fourteen treatments were carried out, during 40… Show more
