Effects of different photoperiod and trophic conditions on biomass, protein and lipid production by the marine alga Nannochloropsis gaditana at optimal concentration of desalination concentrate
Optimal 75% DC concentration is appropriate medium for N. gaditana cultivation. DC provided a higher lipid productivity than the control medium. The optimal photoperiod cycles for enhancing algal biomass were determined. The use of the optimum DC medium was evaluated in nine treatments. Higher SFA production was observed under autotrophic than heterotrophic condition.
