Effects of different culture media on physiological features and laboratory scale production cost of Dunaliella salina.

ABSTRACT: Microalgal cultivation system depends on optimal parameters obtained from laboratory conditions to overcome high-value compounds production and decrease cost. In this study, the laboratory-scale cultivation of Dunaliella salina was performed to explore the cost and biochemical effects on biomass cultivated using F/2, Conway, and Johnson media. D. salina cultivation was monitored by cell counting, dry biomass measurements and biochemical analyses. Photosynthetic pigment profiles were identified and quantified through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) whereas economic evaluation was based on media cost. Cellular growth parameters were significantly improved by Conway medium, whereas maximum accumulation of pigments, especially violaxanthin (0.855 mg g-1) and chlorophyll a (14.255
