Abstract

Biomass of Spirulina (Arthrospira) platensis has a wide range of applications in several areas. Reduction of the cost of the culture medium is an important issue for its production. The possibility of a single repeated usage of the modified Zarrouk culture medium for spirulina cultivation without change in culture productivity and photosynthetic pigment contents is shown, given that the mixture of a freshly prepared and once recycled mediums in the ratio of 1:1 by volume is used. These data will allow for reduction of the costs of spirulina biomass production.
