Assessing the Effect of Environmental Factors on Production of Microalgae <i>Nannochloropsis Oculata</i> in A Vertical Photo Bioreactor.
In conclusion, the selection of the appropriate culture medium plays a crucial role in influencing both the growth metrics and biochemical performance of <i>N. oculata</i>. Specifically, Walne medium attained the highest measures for cell density, biomass accumulation, and chlorophyll production when cultivated under the optimal conditions of pH 9 and 25 °C. Although Walne medium provides superior biological results, the Jordan medium represents a more cost-effective alternative for large-scale production, thereby underlining the necessity to carefully balance the dual objectives of biological efficiency and economic feasibility within the domain of microalgae cultivation for biotechnological applications. Looking forward, future research endeavors should aim at further optimizing the various media as well as the conditions under which these cultures are grown, with the overarching goal of enhancing both productivity levels and cost-effectiveness in microalgal cultivation processes.
