Research hypothesis and Conceptual Framework
This research was conducted under the premise that research algae species Haematococcus pluvialis can growth by glycerol as a source of nutrient in reactor size 50 L
To study the effect of light wavelength on an autotrophic and mixotrophic growth of alga H. pluvialis in 2-L glass reactors
To operate an internally illuminated 50-L bioreactor using optimum conditions previously determined in 1).
To study the effect of light wavelength on an autotrophic and mixotrophic growth of alga H. pluvialis in small-scale bioreactors and eventually scale up the process to a 50-L bioreactor
To study the effect of light wavelenght on the growth of microalga, H. pluvalis, under autotrophic and mixotrophic cultivation in lap-scale bioreactor and eventually to scaling up the production in 50L bioreactor under suitable condition
