UV-Spectroscopic Studies on the Potential State of Spirulina Cultures using Varied Culture Media in Uncontrolled Laboratory Conditions in Ballari Region
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Spirulina platensis is a filamentous cyanobacteria obtained from the wild was subject to exposure to different concentrations of media namely Zarrouk’s and BG-11. The hydrological parameters were maintained naturally in the arid regions of Ballari district. The increased temperature during summer months and dry air substantially had a negative effect on the quality of the filamentous algae. The UV Spectroscopy absorbance showed increased levels with increase in pigment concentration. The study revealed that highest absorbance patterns are due to greater number of chromophores found in the order of the samples A2>A>S2> S1 respectively.
