This study found that Ankistrodesmus sp. IFRPD 1061 had a high lipid content under specific phosphorus concentrations. In an open pond cultivation system with the addition of sodium acetate and KH2PO4, lipid accumulation within the algae cells was enhanced.
Ankistrodesmus sp, has been comprehensively studied for their potential in the production of biodiesel due to their biomass productivity and high lipid content. This study examined the biomass productivity, and concentration, lipid productivity, and concentration, and lipid contents of Ankistrodesmus sp. IFRPD 1061 under several phosphorus concentrations. The optimum conditions were attained at 0.12 g/L KH2PO4. The highest lipid content reached to 35.950 +/- 4.253% (w/w) in 22 days cultivation. An open pond cultivation system was used with the addition of 10 mM sodium acetate on every fourth day (0, 4, 8 and 12) of cultivation and KH2PO4 on twelfth day of cultivation. The obtained biomass productivity and concentration, lipid productivity and concentration and lipid content were 0.709 +/- 0.027 g/L, 48.304 +/- 1.894 mg/L/day, 0.214 +/- 0.004 g/L 14.550 +/- 0.215 mg/L/day and 30.154 +/- 1.627% (w/w) in 14 days of cultivation, respectively. The results exhibited that addition of 10 mM sodium acetate and KH2PO4 may enhance lipid accumulation within algae cells in an open pond cultivation system.
