The C-phycocyanin (148.1 2.2 mg g1) and allophycocyanin
(45.2 0.94 mg g1) contents were reached maximum at 4 klx. The rack system with
reflector gave good effect of light intensity (4.8e6.0 klx) than the normal system (2e3 klx).
Results showed that reflector used cultivation improved biomass, proteinic pigments and
protein biosynthesis in S. platensis. This method of cultivation is simple, inexpensive and
requires low energy.
