Simultaneous use of sodium nitrate and urea as nitrogen sources improves biomass composition of Arthrospira platensis cultivated in a tubular photobioreactor

Simultaneous use of sodium nitrate and urea as nitrogen sources improves biomass composition of Arthrospira platensis cultivated in a tubular photobioreactor

Arthrospira platensis is widely cultivated in open ponds for industrial purposes. However, high‐protein A. platensis biomass produced in photobioreactors (PBRs) is recommended for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. A. platensis was cultivated in a 3.5 L tubular airlift PBR using both sodium n...
