Abstract:To evaluate the suitability of wastewater on the growth of alga Spirulina, reclaimed wastewaters, fishpond wastewater, industrial wastewater and mariculture water were used to culture Spirulina subsalsa and Spirulina platensis. S. subsalsa showed better adaptability to fishpond wastewater and higher specific growth rate than that of S. platensis. Thus, effects of factors such as the amount of baking soda, inoculation, and sodium nitrate on the growth, biomass and protein content of S. subsalsa were evaluated t… Show more
