Abstract
The present work has aimed to optimize the amounts of lipids, carotenoids, and chlorophylls yielded by microalga Desmodesmus sp. in photobioreactors, performing suitable changes in nutritional and colored light source conditions. The enhancement of byproduct yields was also addressed, based on white and colored lights. 16-day algal growth kinetic tests were performed, testing white, blue, red, and green lights. Based on the Response Surface Methodology (RSM), a 32-factorial design was applied, combining suitable changes in concentration factors of both primary nutrients K2HPO4 and NaNO3. A significant improvement in the production of carotenoids, chlorophylls, and lipids in a red-light-based illuminance was observed. Finally, increasing the amounts of K2HPO4 and NaNO3 in a red light environment allowed the attainment of the highest yields of carotenoids and chlorophylls, in contrast with a high yield of lipids due to applying nutritional stress with an amount decrease of K2HPO4 and NaNO3.
期刊介绍:
Aquaculture is an international journal for the exploration, improvement and management of all freshwater and marine food resources. It publishes novel and innovative research of world-wide interest on farming of aquatic organisms, which includes finfish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants for human consumption. Research on ornamentals is not a focus of the Journal. Aquaculture only publishes papers with a clear relevance to improving aquaculture practices or a potential application.
