Abstract:

Today world has facing the major problem of global energy demand due to continuous utilization of finite nature of fossil fuels coupled with the hike in oil prices and increase in world’s population. Several researchers focused interest on microalgae and made great efforts on biofuel production to substitute fossil fuels. This paper deals with the phosphate limitation on growth, biomass, cell integrity and biochemical constituents of marine cyanobacterium, Lyngbya sp. BDU 90901. Lyngbya sp. BDU 90901 exhibited optimum growth (µ= 0.63), fresh biomass (3.3.7g/l), dry biomass (0.67g/l), chlorophyll-a (9.3 µg/ml), carotenoids (2.0 µg/ml), carbohydrate (600 µg/ml) at 25th day and protein (25 µg/ml) at 20th day of incubation.


Keywords: Cyanobacteria, phosphate limitation, growth, pigments and protein content
