In a batch culture, the most suitable conditions for
culture of S. platensis in anaerobically treated swine
wastewater should be at 10% dilution, initial 20% S.
platensis stock solution with added nutrients consisting of 8
g L-1 NaHCO3 and 1.5 g L-1 NaNO3, suitable HRT at day 12 contain 17.8×104 cells mL-1 and an OD value of 1.09 with
56% protein contain. S. platensis algae can be cultured in
small animal farms as an important source of protein in the
farm and which entails a very low cost.
