Abstract

In this study, some factors affecting on the growth of Spirulina platensis including initial seed optical density, photoperiod, light intensity and temperature in 250 mL flasks scale and 1.5L plastic bottle were investigated. The suitable conditions for the growth of S. platensis were determined: seed optical density (OD560nm) of 0.3; continuous illumination of 24/24 hours with light intensity of 3500-4000 lux, cultivation temperature of 35oC. The highest biomass achieved was 3.12 ± 0.08 g dry biomass/L after 8 days of cultivation
