“…Also, tannins and saponins are capable of modifying the chemical synthesis of the microbe, inducing changes in the whole microbial fraction, methane production and microbial protein structure (Bhatta et al, 2009). Jain and Singh (2013) indicated the potentiality using of ruminants dung (cow ash) and Asmare et al (2014) from dairy manure to provide the nutrients to the culture medium that lower its high cost and make it economic culture for algal cultivation. Han et al (2016) proved that microalgae-bacteria cultures combination under mixotrophic conditions are also suitable effective strategy for microalgal cultivation.…”

This work was carried out, firstly for investigating the different effects of various organic carbon sources [fructose (A), lactose (B), glucose (C)], and nitrogen sources [poultry manure extract (PM) and rumen liquor (RL)] which used at ratio 50:50% F/2 medium on maximizing production of biodiesel from the marine microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica. Secondly, we apply the residual lipid-free biomass as feed additives in Red tilapia aquaculture. In phase1, the biomass (DW), biodiesel contents and biochemical compositions of N. oceanica were determined. The results showed varied biomass and biochemical analysis in DW bases between treatments. However, A was achieved significantly the maximum DW for the algal biomass and protein percentage, whereas lipid accumulation was the most in RL as well as achieving the highest biodiesel content. In phase 2, algal biomass by-product (lipid-free) from the superior treatments A and RL were applied at 4 rates (1,2,3 and 4) for concentrations 25,50,75&100%, respectively that substituting soybean for feeding red tilapia larvae as compared with control CO. The initial weight and length of the larvae were 0.32g and 1.9 cm, respectively continued for a duration of 30 days of the experiment. After the end of the experimental period , growth performance, survival percentage (SR%) and biochemical analysis were estimated. The results revealed that SR% was higher significantly for RL2 than A1 (93% & 90%) as compared to control (86.7%). Accordingly, red tilapia carcass attained maximum protein contents for diets A1 & RL2 in whereas lipid content was maximum in control. Finally, authors suggesting the use of Roman liquor as a novel treatment for cost-effective promoting biodiesel content and the remained biomass with 50% substitution of soybean in the diet (RL2)achieved also good results for improving red tilapia aquaculture.

“…To reduce Spirulina production cost, dilutions of the modified ZM were tested and it was shown that modified ZM could be diluted up to five times without impacting the biomass productivity (Delrue et al, 2017). Furthermore, decomposed organic and inorganic nutrients media have been proven to be a good source of culture medium for Spirulina by many researchers (Markou and Georgakakis, 2011;Jain and Singh, 2013;Abdelhay et al, 2019). Hence, in the present study was aimed to investigate the effect of different vermicomposts incorporated with Zarrouk Medium (ZM) for the cultivation of Spirulina platensis.…”

Nowadays, operational costs of culturing Spirulina, notably the costs of the culture media and the regulation of inhibitors in the medium, are the main barriers for scaling up this bioprocess. Hence, the present study was aimed to investigate the effect of different vermicomposts incorporated with Zarrouk Medium (ZM) for the cultivation of Spirulina. In this study, experiments consists of 8 groups. Group 1 is vermimedia (VM) prepared from vermicompost using Eudrilus eugeniae with ZM (10 ml/l); group 2 is VM prepared from decomposed materials of Jasminum sambac using E. eugeniae worms with ZM (10 ml/l); group 3 is VM prepared from decomposed materials of Celosia argentea using E. eugeniae worms with ZM (10 ml/l); group 4 is VM prepared from decomposed materials of Penaeus indicus compost using E. eugeniae worms with ZM (10 ml/l); group 5 is VM prepared from vermicompost using Eisenia fetida with ZM (10 ml/l); group 6 is VM prepared from decomposed materials of J. sambac using E. fetida worms with ZM (10 ml/l); group 7 is VM prepared from decomposed materials of C. argentea using E. fetida worms with ZM (10 ml/l); and group 8 is VM prepared from decomposed materials of P. indicus compost using E. fetida worms with ZM (10 ml/l). The total biomass, chlorophyll and major biochemical profile contents were estimated using standard methods. For this study, the P. indicus compost using E. eugeniae worms with ZM has resulted in highest biomass concentration when compared to other VM materials (2.2±0.3 g/l) and the highest protein and chlorophyll content was also recorded in group 3. The biochemical profiles such as nitrogen (7.3±0.32), calcium (316.60±36.97), chlorophyll (1408.987±7.505), potassium (796.2533±6.35), magnesium (796.2533±6.35), iron (20.63±1.7) and total organic carbon (28.12±3.46) were also significantly higher in the group 3 when compared to other VM. Based on our experimental results, it is concluded that modified organic media could be used for better biomass yield.

“…Toyub et al (2011) studied the growth performance of S. platensis in different concentrations of papaya (Carica papaya) skin powder media (PSPM), and maximum cell dry weight was found in control KM followed by 0.40 g/L of PSPM. Jain and Singh (2013) carried out an experiment to formulate a low-cost medium using different concentration gradients of cow dung ash medium (10-60%) and found 1.21 g/L dry biomass having 20% cow-dung ash supplemented with 80% prescribed medium. The results of above studies were consistent with the current findings, which point out the potential of BLAE comparing KM to reduce the cost of medium for S. platensis culture.…”

“…By using inexpensive and easily accessible resources, the input costs for the commercial production of S. platensis can be decreased without impacting production efficiency. It has been demonstrated that decomposed organic and inorganic nutrients are reliable sources of nutrients for the cultivation of S. platensis (Habib et al, 2019;Jain and Singh, 2013;Sharker et al, 2007). It was found to be extremely cost-effective to modify the KM medium by substituting fertilizer grade MOP-K for potassium in commercial grade chemicals K 2 SO 4 (Akter et al, 2019).…”

The use of banana leaf ash extract (BLAE) as a replacement of Kosaric medium (KM) to grow spirulina (Spirulina platensis) was investigated. KM was partially replaced with more affordable and locally available BLAE at 0, 10, 30, 50, and 70% concentrations. The spirulina was grown for 18 days at room temperature in the experimental media with artificial lighting and aeration. By replacing KM with BLAE, the 30% replacement produced the highest biomass of S. platensis. It was observed that replacing of KM by 30% with BLAE produced biomass of 1.22 g/L, which was similar to that of 1.33 g/L with control (P <0.05). However, replacing more than 50% KM by BLAE failed to promote growth relative to the control. Moreover, chlorophyll a concentrations in the control were found comparable in up to 30% of BLAE concentrations. Protein, lipid, and fiber contents of S. platensis were found to be 57.67 ± 0.58, 11.59 ± 0.28, and 7.35 ± 0.37%, respectively, in 30% replacement of KM, compared to corresponding values of 58.02 ± 1.16, 12.25 ± 0.39, and 7.53 ± 0.32%, respectively, in control KM. At the 50% KM replacement level, these values dropped to 52.65 ± 0.98, 9.97 ± 0.51, and 7.25 ± 0.29%, respectively. In conclusion, cultivation of S. platensis with BLAE up to 30% replacement of KM may be viable without undue effect on the plant’s growth, pigmentation, or biochemical makeup. Ann. Bangladesh Agric.
