This study explores the cultivation of Spirulina platensis, a microalgae species, under various lighting conditions and pH levels to maximize biomass production. The organism primarily relies on light for autotrophic growth, and both light intensity and quality shape its cell growth and biomass composition. The investigation assessed the impact of...

as human food. Spirulina, a potential feedstock for bioen-ergy production, is an appropriate source of high protein, carbohydrates, and lipids. Spirulina has a highly profiled chemical composition rich in protein. It contains essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and pigments, carbohydrates , and lipids. These beneficial compounds in Spiruli...

Spirulina platensis, versatile microalgae widely utilized in food, feed, and biofuel industries, holds immense growth potential that can be fully harnessed through the synergistic implementation of enhanced LED illumination and optimization strategies. This study investigates the combined effect of these approaches to unlock the maximum growth pote...

The constant increase in demand for food, valued bio-based compounds and energy demand has prompted the development of innovative and sustainable resources. New technologies and strategies must be implemented to boost microalgae biomass production, such as using different photoperiods along with (LED) light-emitting diodes to stimulate biomass prod...

The wastewater treatment potential of the microalga Chlorella protothecoides was investigated in the context of fish farming, and it is efficacy was further evaluated through cultivation at different inoculation levels to gauge pollutant removal efficiency. This study examines C. protothecoides for growth, nutrient removal, and biofuel potential. C...

Light is the core environmental factor that affects the growth and biomass production of microalgae. However, the high density of microalgae will lead to reduction of the growth rate of microalgae culture due to availability of light decreases. Therefore, this experiment was conducted with aim of determining the influence of biomass density on grow...

There is an urgent demand for an evolution of renewable energy resources due to the rising global energy demand, resource depletion, growing emphasis on reducing climate change, and resource scarcity. Among many resources, Microalgae are thought to be the cleanest alternative feedstock for biofuels and biorefineries because of their advantages of q...

Spirulina platensis has been developed as one of the most important feedstocks. They are quickly growing biomass that can be converted into various useful products like feed for animals and biofuel. The effect of various environmental conditions like temperature, light intensity, and pH on the biomass production of S. platensis species has been inv...

Plants need air, and sunlight in adequate quantity for proper growth. In northern Himalayan Regions, during the winter months temperature goes down to below 0 ⁰C and maintaining the right temper-Ture for the growth of plants becomes a challenge for farmers. Greenhouse provides a solution to this problem by artificially creating a controlled climati...

A vital source of organic material for high protein food production is exemplified by Spirulina. It is the protein content and micronutrients like magnesium, potassium, zinc, and calcium present in Spirulina that is essential for the human body making it useful in industries like food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Spirulina have received a lot o...
