Abstract

A series of partition was constructed inside a vertical tubular photobioreactor to control the culture distribution in obtaining intermittent exposure to light area in the surface of the tubular column. A microalga, Ankistrodesmus convulutus, was grown in a batch mode in the reactor with PHM medium, light sources of fluorescent lamp 3 x 40 watt (I = 5.500 lux on the surface of the tubular) and room temperature of 27 – 310C. The experiment was carried out to study the influence of partition density which was constructed at varied distance, which were 1, 2 and 3 inch on the growth and biochemical composition of the alga. A vertical tubular photobioreactor without partition was applied as the control. The partition density did not significantly affect the optical density achievement of the culture, but it significantly affected the biomass and chlorophyll concentration, as well as the protein/carbohydrate ratio of the culture. It is believed that the intermittent exposure of algal cell to the light area leads to sincronization of the light and dark reaction of the photosynthesis, as well as to vapor the catalitic proccesses to develop the functional cell structure.

Abstract

The optimization of cyanobacterium microalgae cultivation technology to provide the need for food or feedstocks has recently attracted many investigators. An optimum operation on microalgae cultivation is important to reduce the excessive workload on the aquatic environment. Therefore, this study describes how the varied irradiance (2000 lux, 4000 lux, 6000 lux, 8000 lux, and 10,000 lux) treatments on a bubble column photobioreactor system affected biomass production, phycocyanin, and protein from cyanobacterium Spirulina fusiformis. The objective of this study was to obtain the optimum irradiance for producing maximum biomass, phycocyanin, and protein simultaneously. The results demonstrated some findings those were: 1) irradiance 10,000 lux made doubling time of growth earliest (only 24 hours) while 2,000 lux doubled within five days later; 2) light response curve showed that the increase of biomass concentration was linear with the increasing of irradiance; 3) a predictive model (Response Surface Method) proof that the most optimum quantity of the biomass (0.58 ±0.035 gL-1 dry weight), chlorophyll-a (0.090 ±0.023 % dry weight), and phycocyanin (2.44 ±0.00 gL-1 dry weight) were obtained on 10,000 lux, while protein contents of 79.18±5.47 % dry weight attained on the irradiance of  6000 lux. The maximum productivity of the biomass, chlorophyll-a, phycocyanin, and protein was ~Pbiomass of 24.95 mgL-1day-1; Pchl-a of 2.25E-02 mgL-1day-1; Pphycocyanin of 1.88E-02 mgL-1day-1; and Pprotein of 17.56 mgL-1day-1. Enhancement of irradiance up to 5 folds lead to the increasing of biomass chlorophyll-a, phycocyanin, and protein productivity, attained to 1.7, 5.01, 4.13, and 2.81 folds, respectively. The irradiance had a significant influence on the production of the metabolites; therefore, the irradiance must be optimized.

Abstract

Nutrient enrichment in waters that has become a major environmental problem is related to excessive loading of nutrients into aquatic ecosystems. This nutrient enrichment, called eutrophication, favors phytoplankton growth, which can function as a natural daphnid feed. This study examined the growth performance of the water fleas Daphnia magna in water collected from small lakes (ponds) of different trophic levels. The water was taken from Situ Rawa Kalong, considered eutrophic from its dark green color, and the less eutrophic Situ Cibuntu with relatively clear water. Daphnids were grown in six aquaria filled with water from both ponds without artificial feeding with an initial density of five individuals/L. Samples of daphnids were taken every three to four days to observe their growth and reproduction, along with water samples to analyze the chlorophyll content and total suspended solids (TSS). The result showed that the eutrophic water of Situ Rawa Kalong favored phytoplankton growth, indicated by a consistently higher chlorophyll content in the water ranging from 35.3 to 140.7 μg/L compared to less eutrophic water of Situ Cibuntu with chlorophyll content ranging from 1.4 to 13.2 μg/L throughout the experiment. A much higher daphnid density of 151.7 individuals/L was achieved with more water chlorophyll content, meaning phytoplankton availability became a controlling factor for daphnid growth in the pond waters. This study reveals the functional relationships in the food chain between the water trophic level, the abundance of phytoplankton as the primary producer, and daphnids as the first-order predator. It also suggests that the open water trophic level can be managed to favor the daphnid growth, which can then be harvested for use as natural feed.
