Abstract

In this study, Scenedesmus dimorphus was used for the production of lipid. S. dimoprhus is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production. 5 different types of culture media were studied and observed which of these medium are yield the highest biomass within the same culture period. These are protease medium as the standard medium, filtered tap water (FTW), filtered sea water (FSW), modified filtered tap water (MFTW) and modified filtered sea water (MFSW). MFTW and MFSW were amended with different concentration of sodium bicarbonate to enhance algal growth at the optimum pH for culture S. dimoprhus. All 5 cultures were performed using flow culture method by oil tubing and Perspex box. The optimum growth conditions for the test media was based on the amount of biomass (as dried cell weight) and lipid from the cell disruption. Overall, the highest amount of biomass was 0.636 g in protease mediwn in flow culture method by oil tubing. While the highest lipid production was 0.142 g in filtered tap water in flow culture method by oil tubing.
