Abstract
The semi-outdoor cultivation of Spirulina platens is was attempted using an underground-water-based medium. Occurrence of contaminant organisms such as Chlorella sp. and Chlamydomonas sp. was not found from a microscopic observation and bacteria were not detected from denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis(DGGE) analysis of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA during the cultivation, owing to pH control and the high quality of the underground water. The mean productivity was high at $10.5g/m^2/d$ with a range of $4.2-12.3g/m^2/d$ despite the unfavorable weather conditions of the rainy season. The cultivated S. platens is included a normal protein content of 58.9%. Consequently, the underground water improved the biomass productivity and the biomass quality because of an abundant supplementation of natural minerals and through a contaminant-free culture.
