This study aims to evaluate the impact of different cultivation modes on the growth and lipid content of Thalassiosira sp. The diatom, Thalassiosira sp., was grown in autotrophic, mixotrophic-suspended, and mixotrophic-biofilm conditions until the stationary phase was reached. After four (4) days of culture, analysis of the cell densities revealed a significant difference between groups, with cell densities of 7.3×105 cells mL-1 for control, 1.1×106 cells mL-1 for mixotrophic-suspended, and 1.9×106 cells mL-1 for mixotrophic-biofilm cultures. Both treatments are significantly higher than the control. However, mixotrophic-biofilm culture achieved the highest cell density among all cultivation modes, 161.81% higher than the control. The specific growth rate (SGR) of Thalassiosira sp. in mixotrophic-biofilm culture was highest among treatments, while the doubling time was significantly highest in the control. Moreover, mixotrophic-biofilm culture attained the highest biomass at 56 mg 100 mL-1. Thalassiosira sp. cultured under mixotrophic-biofilm also recorded the highest lipid content at 9.89%. It is both significantly higher than the control (3.06%) and the mixotrophic-suspended culture (6.15%). The cell density, algal biomass, and lipid content of Thalassiosira sp. under mixotrophic-biofilm culture highlight this culture strategy’s promising potential in improving microalgae growth and lipid content, ridding of light as an indispensable growth factor.","PeriodicalId":36566,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Aquaculture Journal","volume":" 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141675719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment was carried out for 35 days, with two treatments at 5 and 10 ppt and the growth performance of shrimp and water spinach was affected by salinity. Shrimp reared at 10 ppt exhibited higher growth rate, harvest size, and shrimp yield, along with lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) and water use compared to those reared at 5 ppt. Meanwhile, the performance of water spinach at 5 ppt salinity resulted in higher survival, plant height gain, root length gain, number of leaves, and yield of water spinach compared to 10 ppt salinity. The growth performance of water spinach decreased with increasing salinity and the efficiency in reducing N and P from the 5 ppt culture media was 1.3 times higher than 10 ppt. Water spinach showed better results in the 5 ppt salinity media than 10 ppt, while vannamei shrimp grew at 5 ppt. Therefore, 5 ppt salinity was recommended as a suitable condition for integrated cultivation of vannamei shrimp and water spinach in low-salinity aquaponics.

Lactococcus garvieae had the ability to lower the neutral pH of the media to be acidic. The hydrophobic cell surface of Lactococcus garvieae showed an adhesive, hydrophobic, and protein surface cell content that had a compact growth pattern coherent to SAT and MATH positive assay.

Four experimental diets with four different levels (control- 0 %, 0.25 %, 0.5 %, and 1.0 %) of SWE were fed to four triplicate groups of C. gariepinus juvenile (mean initial weight 14.50 ± 0.00 g) for 28 days.

Notably, the liver function enzyme- Alkaline phosphatase was significantly higher (p<0.05) in fish fed SWE diets when compared to the control group. There was significant variation (p<0.05) in hepatic antioxidant enzymes activities across all diets. It was also observed that TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-β increased significantly in the liver of C. gariepinus fed SWE supplemented diets compared to control.
