Potential of a novel brine-struvite-based growth medium for sustainable biomass and phycocyanin production by Arthrospira platensis.

ABSTRACT: Nutrient recovery is crucial for sustainability as it helps to recycle valuable resources, reduce environmental pollution, and promote the efficient use of natural materials in various agricultural and industrial processes. The present study investigated the impact of using brine and struvite as sustainable nutrient sources on the growth and c-phycocyanin (C-PC) production by the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis. Three modified growth media were compared to the standard SAG-spirul medium under yellow-white light [YLT], and blue-white light [BLT]. In the modified medium BSI, a struvite solution was utilized to replace dipotassium phosphate, while diluted brine was used to replace NaCl and de-ionized H₂O. For BSII, struvite and brine were used as in BSI, with eliminatio
