Effect of media and culture conditions on growth and hydrocarbon production by Botryococcus braunii
C Dayananda, R Sarada, S Bhattacharya… - Process …, 2005 - Elsevier
The influence of the media constituents potassium nitrate, magnesium sulphate, dihydrogen
potassium phosphate and ferric citrate on growth and hydrocarbon production in
Botryococcus braunii (SAG 30.81) was investigated using response surface methodology
(RSM). Among the individual variables, potassium nitrate and ferric citrate exhibited marked
effects on the response functions (yield of biomass and hydrocarbon production). A high
correlation coefficient (r≥ 0.93, p≤ 0.01) indicated the suitability of second-order …
