Abstract

Microalgae are primary producers, which can convert light, nutrients and carbon dioxide into energy-rich cell molecules such as lipid, protein and carbohydrate and can be designated as a bio-factory of several high-value functional products, e.g., pigments (carotenoids and phycobiliproteins) and polyunsaturated fatty acids. They can grow under photoautotrophic, heterotrophic and mixotrophic growth conditions. Under natural conditions, phototrophic microalgae rely mostly on sodium bicarbonate and carbon dioxide as potential carbon sources with several reports stating the effects of different carbon sources on the growth and nutrient profile of various microalgae. In this study, glucose (as a carbon source) was used for the culture of two important microalgae namely, Nannochloropsis oculata and Isochrysis galbana to assess its impact on cell count during the heterotrophic and mixotrophic culture conditions.
