2.1.4. Nutrient Medium
The nutrient medium is a mixture of various nutrient substances used in culturing of specific organisms [8].
Unriched – providing the best effects of multiplication of algae biomass due to the rich composition of nutrients
e.g. Knop’s medium
Minimal – containing only such elements that are necessary to sustain the basic physiological function
(Baslerowa-Dvorakova medium)
Simple – containing a large amount of nutrients, but guaranteeing only the growth of less demanding organisms.
