Abstract

The present communication deals with the standardization of suitable medium formulation along with anaerobically digested cow's urine (ADCU) for growth of Spirulina subsalsa. Growth was evaluated on the basis of photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic pigment. The results obtained from the study indicated that, SSM-1 and SSM-2 media are suitable for maximum synthesis of chlorophyll-α and carotenoids. The obtained results also indicated that SSM-5 medium is suitable for maximum synthesis of accessory light harvesting pigments phycobiliprotein, total carbohydrate, total protein and total lipid in S. subsalsa. From the study it could be concluded that all the five media combinations (viz. SSM-1, SSM-2, SSM-3, SSM-4 and SSM-5) would be suitable for mass cultivation of S. subsalsa. But among them, SSM-5 medium combination could be the most suitable medium.
