Statistical optimization and formulation of microalga cultivation medium for improved omega 3 fatty acid production.

ABSTRACT: Microalgae are considered a rich source of high-value metabolites with an array of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications. Different strategies have been developed for cultivating microalgae at large-scale photobioreactors but high cost and low productivity are the major hurdles. Optimizing the composition of media for the cultivation of microalgae to induce biomass production and high-value metabolite accumulation has been considered as an important factor for sustainable product development. In this study, the effect of plant growth regulators together with basal microalgal cultivation medium on biomass, total lipid, and EPA production was studied using the Plackett-Burman model and Response surface methodology. The traditional one-factor-at-a-time optimization approach is laborio
