Title Of Article :
Determination of the effect of whey as a nutritional supplement in different growth medium regarding to its potential to biodiesel feedstock production
Abstract :
Large-scale production of microalgae is a costly process because of high costs of microalgae feed,artificial lighting and operational costs. Whey (CW) is one of the agricultural waste materials whichcontains high amounts of protein and minerals and is considered as a feed source for Chlorella vulgaris.The objective of this research was to determine the effects of wheyon biomass production of Chlorellavulgaris. Chlorella vulgaris was produced in four different growth medium of 1) Blue GreenMedium(BG11) Chlorella vulgaris 2) Blue Green Medium(BG11) whey (CW) Chlorella vulgaris 3)Bold’s Basal Medium (BMM) Chlorella vulgaris and 4) Tap water(TW) Chlorella vulgaris. After 21days of experimentation, the highest number microalgae cells, biomass gain and lipid were observed inBold s Basal Medium (BMM) Chlorella vulgaris growth medium containing as 79.7x106 cell mL-1,10.14 g L-1 and 20.7%, respectively. It is found that wheycan be considered as a promising feed sourcefor the production of Chlorella vulgaris.
