Abstract
To determine an efficient growth system for algal cultivation and to develop adequate culture system utilizing LED light, we investigated the effects of fluorescent and light emitting diode (LED) light source on the growth of Ulva pertusa. U. pertusa was cultured at $17^{\circ}C$ under a light intensity of 35 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$ and a 10L:14D photoperiod using either fluorescent or LED lamps. After 1 week of incubation under the same environmental condition, the length and width of Ulva pertusa grown under LED light were 1.5- and 1.9-fold greater, respectively, than the length and width of algae grown under fluorescent light. After two weeks, length and width were 2.6- and 2.0-fold greater, respectively, in algae grown under LED light. Total length and width of Ulva pertusa after three weeks of incubation were 1.7- and 1.2-fold greater in algae grown under LED light than those grown under fluorescent light. Therefore, the LED light induced significantly higher growth of Ulva pertusa than fluorescent light.
