The combination of mixotrophic culture and magnetic field (MF) application is a promising alternative method to increase microalga protein and phycocyanin production. In the study, mixotrophic culture with 1 g/L molasses resulted in higher biomass concentration and carbohydrate content, while the application of magnetic fields increased protein yield and productivity.
Spirulina is a filamentous microalga which is considered a promising alternative source of essential nutrients and active biomolecules. High production cost and the space required to install a photobioreactor are two of the greatest challenges in the industrial application of microalga-based products. Thus, this study aimed to improve Spirulina sp. LEB 18 biomass and phycocyanin content by combining the application of mixotrophic culture and magnetic fields (MF). Zarrouk medium was modified with 1 and 3 g/L liquid molasses and the application of 30 mT for 1 center dot h/d was investigated. Mixotrophic culture with 1 g/L molasses showed the highest biomass concentration (1.62 g/L), carbohydrate content (25.6%), and lipid contents (8.7%) after 15 days. Although the combination of 30 mT and 1 g/L liquid molasses decreased biomass production (1.44 g/L), there was increase in protein yield (76.9%) and protein productivity (73.8 mg/L center dot d). The proposed method increased phycocyanin production by 145% and its purity from 0.584 in the control culture to 0.627. Data described by this study show that the combination of mixotrophic culture and MF application is a promising alternative to increase microalga protein and phycocyanin production.
