Dataset describing the growth pattern, amino acid and fatty acid profile of five indigenous marine microalgae species of Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents the data on the growth pattern, amino acid, and fatty acid profile of five (5) selected indigenous marine microalgae (Chaetoceros sp.; Isochrysis sp.; Skeletonema sp.; Nannochloropsis sp.; and Tetraselmis sp.) of Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. The microalgae species were cultured in f/2 Guillard's medium with maintaining standard physico-chemical parameters. The growth pattern was determined for all the microalgae as a prerequisite for further necessary experimental works. All the species were mass cultured using the same culture medium and harvested (centrifuging method), and dried (60 ℃ for 12 h) at their stationary phase. Finally, the amino acid and fatty acid analyses were performed. In many contexts, the amino acid and fatty acid data showed significant differences (p < 0.05) among these experimental species. However, by understanding these experimental species' nutritional profiles, one can easily choose the desired one that is most appropriate for their intended application.
