Lipid Productivity of Marine Microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta in Marmara Seawater and Johnson’s Media with Different Salinities and Evaluation as A Raw Material Source for Biofuel Production

Microalgae are increasingly used in the production of various industrial chemicals. Lipids from major microalgae crops similar to lipids obtained oilseed plants and can be converted into biodiesel, moreover, more advantageous than oil many ways. Therefore, biodiesel technology is a current interesting research topic. The effect salinity nutrient medium on growth lipid productivity marine Dunaliella tertiolecta was investigated. usability Marmara Seawater (MSW) as its suita-bility for were also highest cell concentration (1.53gdw / L), rate (μmax = 0.006h-1) (12.8 (g L. Day) (10-3)) (5g) obtained. On other hand, cetane number calculated according dominant arachidic acid (C20:0), it determined 74.9 average molecular weight 849.1 g mol. Ac-cording experimental results, predicted that will widely an alterna-tive vegetable oils soon raw materials.
