ABSTRACT
Research has been done on the culture of Ankistrodesmus sp. through heterotrophic conditions to
obtain lipid content. Heterotrophic culture with the addition of several concentrations of cassava
starch hydrolysate (CSH) as a source of organic carbon that increased lipid content. The highest
cell density and cell growth rate (cell division) of Ankistrodesmussp achieved at 10 g.l-1
of CSH
concentration on 2.46 x 106
cells.ml-1 which occurred at the 8th day and 0.50 cells.day-1
respectively. While the highest biomass and lipid content achieved at 5 g.l-1
of CSH concentration
on 0.94 g.l-1
and 26% respectively
