Influence of light intensity and photoperiod on the pigment and, lipid production of Dunaliella tertiolecta and Nannochloropsis oculata under three different culture medium.

ABSTRACT: Microalgal biomass has the ability to store huge amount of triacylglycerides as fatty ester methyl esters (FAME) and carotenoids which has made algae as potential candidate for biorefinery approach. Essential fatty acid such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidonic acid and eicospentanoic acid have been produced which are known for their various applications. The present study was aimed to evaluate the influence of different light intensities (120 and 250 μE/m²/s) and photoperiod (16:8h and 13:11h light/dark cycle) on the production of lipid, biomass and lutein. Dunaliella tertiolecta and Nannochloropsis oculata was grown for 23 days in F/2, sea salt media (SSM, Distilled water (DW) and SSM (natural seawater media,NSW) under two different light intensities and p
