Enhancement of euryhaline Asterarcys quadricellulare biomass production for improving biogas generation through anaerobic co-digestion with carbon rich substrate.

ABSTRACT: The microalga was isolated from Muktsar, the southwestern zone of Indian Punjab and identified as Asterarcys quadricellulare BGLR5 (MF661929) by 18S rRNA sequence analysis. The optimization of various cultural factors by the Plackett-Burman and central composite (CCD) designs helped in discerning the significant cultural factors for the increased production of biomass and other functional components (chlorophyll, carbohydrate, lipid and protein). The optimal cultural conditions as per the model were pH 9.9, 81 μmol m^-2 s^-1 light intensity, 22 °C temperature, growth period of 25 days, NaNO₃ 12 mM, 15 mM NH₄Cl, and 7 mM K₂HPO₄. In comparison to the basal condition biomass (0.886 g L^-1), a 0.42-fold increase i
