CULTIVATION OF Chlorella vulgaris IN MEDIUM SUPPLEMENTED WITH DESALINATION CONCENTRATE GROWN IN A PILOT-SCALE OPEN RACEWAY

Listed in DataCite

ABSTRACT In this study, we investigated the outdoor production of a microalga C. vulgaris cultured in two different media under autotrophic cultivation: Bold Basal Medium (BBM) as the control and BBM supplemented with desalination concentrate (BBM + DC) using open raceway ponds (8 m2).

Description

Data were collected on the growth, biomass productivity and biochemical composition. The culture developed in BBM + DC showed a biomass productivity of 6.8 g m-2 day-1, while for the BBM control it was 8.5 g m-2 day-1.

Intracellular protein was the main algal component (~28.6%), followed by carbohydrate + fiber (~26.0%) and lipids (~5.0%). The predominant fatty acids were mainly α-linolenic (~19.5%), palmitic (~16.5%) and linoleic (~10.0%) acids. This study demonstrates the feasibility of culturing C. vulgaris in an alternative medium based on DC in order to valorize the desalination wastewater through its application to algal mass production.
