- Abstract
This paper elaborates about the enhancing of lipid content and biomass productivity of the three types of microalgae. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of EMS (ethyl methanesulfonate) mutagen and UV-C on microalgae Spirulina sp., Dunaliella sp., and Nitzschia sp., and comparing their biomass and lipid productivity. Both treatments by EMS mutated microalgae and UV-C light were applied to both wild-type and mutated microalgae. The cultivation was carried out for 7 days in a photobioreactor with a capacity of 8 l. The treatment for mutated microalgae was carried out by adding 0.5 M EMS and UV-C irradiation for 3 minutes. Cell density was calculated from day 1 to 7 on each type of microalgae using a haemocytometer. The results showed that mutagens cause an increase in cell density in Dunaliella sp. up to 5.7% and 6.5%. increase in biomass. In Nitzschia sp. there was also an increase in cell density up to 16.5% and an increase in biomass of 25.3% from the wild type, however, there was a decrease in cell density and biomass productivity in Spirulina sp. Mutagens also affects the lipid content of microalgae because it has a significant effect on increasing the lipid content of mutated microalgae by 1.93-fold in Spirulina sp., 0.08-fold in Dunaliella sp., and 0.44-fold in Nitzschia sp.
