A cost effective fertilizer based optimum culture medium was formulated for the cultivation of
Spirulina platensis using NPK-10: 26: 26 complex fertilizer in CO 2-agitated sintered disk
chromatographic glass (SDCG) bubble column and the growth results were compared with
the standard Zarrouk's culture medium. To formulate optimum culture medium, biomass
growth was carried out under varying NPK-10: 26: 26 complex fertilizer and sodium
bicarbonate using air-agitated SDCG-bubble column. Optimally formulated fertilizer medium …
