CULTIVATION OF Chlorella vulgaris IN MEDIUM SUPPLEMENTED WITH DESALINATION CONCENTRATE GROWN IN A PILOT-SCALE OPEN RACEWAY
ABSTRACT In this study, we investigated the outdoor production of a microalga C. vulgaris cultured in two different media under autotrophic cultivation: Bold Basal Medium (BBM) as the control and BBM supplemented with desalination concentrate (BBM + DC) using open raceway ponds (8 m2). Data were col...
