Optimum production conditions for different high-quality marine algae

The possibility of improving the growth rate of different high-quality marine algae was studied. Optimum culture conditions relative to salinities, temperatures and pH levels were defined for three species of Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis and Isochrysis. In Nannochloropsis, the optimum production ran...

Description
Summary:The possibility of improving the growth rate of different high-quality marine algae was studied. Optimum culture conditions relative to salinities, temperatures and pH levels were defined for three species of Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis and Isochrysis. In Nannochloropsis, the optimum production ranges were as follows: 20-40[per thousand], 19-21 °C, without using CO^sub 2^. The optimum conditions for Tetraselmis were: 20-35[per thousand], 19-21 °C, without using CO^sub 2^. For Isochrysis, the optimum conditions were: 25-35[per thousand], 24-26 °C, also without using CO^sub 2^.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
