How is spirulina cultured?

• The culture of spirulina is practised in different media, especially inorganic and decomposed organic nutrients. Different types of spirulina were cultured to evaluate growth and biochemistry under similar controlled conditions (Bhattacharya and Shivaprakash, 2005). They cultured three species of Spirulinaviz.

How is spirulina produced in Bangladesh?

• In Bangladesh, spirulina was produced through a pilot project using paddle-wheel under transparent shade in the campus of BCSIR (Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research) in 1980s. Later BCSIR established a system for the rural culture of spirulina.

What is a spirulina microalgae?

• The worldwide investigation on microalgae has been carried out under the name of “spirulina”; this common designation between scientists and consumers has proved difficult to change. The microalgae under discussion belongs to the genus Arthrospira, but it will probably be called Spirulina for some time.

What is the biomass concentration of spirulina?

• The initial biomass concentration of spirulina was 350 mg (dry weight)/litre which attended to a maximum dry weight of 346 and 329 mg/litre in the cases of S. platensisand S. maxima, respectively. The culture solution was the standard bicarbonate-carbonate medium at pH 9–9.5 with bubbling air and 1 percent CO2.
