Uptake of macrominerals and trace elements by the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis PCC 8005) under photoautotrophic conditions: Culture medium optimization

Abstract

Uptake rates of macrominerals and trace elements were characterized in batch and continuous cultures of Spirulina platensis under photoautotropic conditions. The values of yield coefficients were determined using inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-ES). Further simplifications of culture medium proved possible, mainly in the trace element solutions; concentrations of some elements were lowered and trace elements B, Mo, V, Cr, Ni, Co, W, and Ti were removed.

Identification of a metabolic network structure representative of arthrospira (spirulina) platensis metabolism

“…The cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis strain 8005 (Institut Pasteur, Paris, France) was axenically grown in a culture medium described by Cogne et al (2003) as (g L À1 ): NaCl 1.0; CaCl 2 0.03; K 2 SO 4 1.0; MgSO 4 , 7 H 2 O 0.2; K 2 HPO 4 0.5; NaNO 3 2.5; NaHCO 3 10.5; Na 2 CO 3 7.6; EDTA 0.08; FeSO 4 , 7 H 2 O 0.01.…”

A new tool to detect high viscous exopolymers from microalgae

“…Arthrospira platensis PCC 8005 was grown in Zarrouk medium modified by Cogne et al [8]. Rhodella violacea was isolated at the Laboratoire ''Microorganismes:…”

Acoustic, electrochemical and microscopic characterization of interaction of Arthrospira platensis biofilm and heavy metal ions

“…7b). Cogne et al [62] studied Zn, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, K, uptake by Spirulina in general, and they reported that microorganism metal interaction consisted in physical adsorption and chemical absorption. The partial reversibility of the admittance noticed after a rinsing step can then eliminate cations physically fixed on the cell wall (Fig.…”
