Effects of different salinities and pH on the growth and proximate composition of Nannochloropsis sp. and Tetraselmis sp. isolated from South China Sea cultured under control and natural condition

Nannochloropsis sp. and Tetraselmis sp. are widely used in aquaculture as a source of protein, lipid and carbohydrate. The growth and proximate composition of microalgae could be affected by different culture conditions especially salinity, temperature and light. Thus, this study was aimed to compar...

Description
Summary:Nannochloropsis sp. and Tetraselmis sp. are widely used in aquaculture as a source of protein, lipid and carbohydrate. The growth and proximate composition of microalgae could be affected by different culture conditions especially salinity, temperature and light. Thus, this study was aimed to compare the growth and proximate composition of Nannochloropsis sp. and Tetraselmis sp. cultured in different salinities and pH under different culture conditions. In this study Nannochloropsis sp. and Tetraselmis sp. were isolated from South China Sea and cultured at different salinities of 20, 30 and 40 ppt and different pH of 5.5, 7.5, 8.5 and 9.5 under natural and control condition until stationary phase. Results showed that Nannochloropsis sp. and Tetraselmis sp. had significantly higher (p
