Effect of Different Growth Media on the Cell Densities of Freshwater Microalgae Isolates
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The effect of BMM and BG-11 medium on the cell density of two economically important microalgal isolates (Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp.) from Abakaliki fresh water body was investigated. The isolates were incubated in the growth media for the period of 384hours (16 days) during which biomass concentration was obtained through microscopic examination of cells at 48th hour interval, using haemocytometer. The culture broths turned green during cultivation an indication that the isolates were green algae. All the isolates showed varied growth pattern in different culture media with both cells optimal in BMM. This suggested that Bristol Modified Medium is a better medium when compared to Blue- Green Medium in cultivation of freshwater microalgae for cell density yield.
