[ 1 ] - Effect of Nitrogen deficiency and light intensity on the fatty acid composition of Chaetoceros calcitrans

Marine diatoms are important sources of fat and fatty acids that are considered for aquaculture and alternative energy sources, and under varying environmental conditions in algae. In order to influence the nitrogen deficiency and light intensity of the medium culture on the C.calcitrans fatty acid composition, algae was exposed to 4 nitrogen treatments (25,50,75 and 100% nitrogen) and light in...

[ 2 ] - Short communication: Effect of light and nitrogen concentration on the growth and lipid content of marine diatom, Chaetoceros calcitrans

The effects of light intensity (µ mol m-2 s-1) and different levels of Nitrogen was made on the biomass and lipid of microalgae Chaetoceros calcitrans under  laboratory conditions in the north of Iran in 2016. The pure strand of C. calcitrans with F/2 media (8 sets of 3 flasks) were placed in front of the light source at values of 80, 160, and 240 µ mol m-2 s-1. The cell count was collected in ...
