Influence of Medium Recipe on Biomass and Lipid Profile of an Aquatic Green Microalga Monoraphidium convolutum for Biodiesel Production
Samah Salama et al.
Abstract:Changing the growth medium for microalgae causes a remarkable effect on cell metabolism. The growth and lipid content of Monoraphidium species, a promising source for biodiesel production, are significantly influenced by various nitrogen sources, phosphorus, and iron concentrations. Three different Monoraphidium species were isolated, identified and evaluated for their growth, lipid content and fatty acid profile on the Bold's Basal medium. Monoraphidium convolutum exhibited the highest biomass (0.34g L -1 ± 0… Show more
