Description 384-393
A low cost medium using seawater and prawn hatchery
waste water was developed for the cultivation of an economically important
cyanobacterium Spirulina (Arthrospira)
platensis.  Quality of the biomass
produced was evaluated on the basis of protein and pigment contents
(phycocyanin, chlorophyll-a and total carotenoids). A three step process was used
for the downstream processing of the biomass produced to obtain a value added
pigment phycocyanin. It is evident from the results that there was a negligible
effect on growth rate (3-14% decline) in the amended seawater medium as
compared to the prescribed growth medium. Phycocyanin content was also
comparable (50.9±0.48 mg/g for amended seawater and 50.95±0.47 mg/g for prescribed medium).  Purity of phycocyanin (
