Abstract

Microalgae were isolated from the Bangphra reservoir, Chonburi Province by the micro-manipulative method and cultured in BG11 culture medium under laboratory conditions at 26+2 °C under the light intensity approximately 60 mmols-1m-2, light and dark period of 16:8 hours. After isolation and morphology identification, the green microalgae Selenastrum bibraianum BPR1107 with curve and sharp shape, colony form 4-6 cells and cell size of 5-20 microns, was selected. Batch culture of S. bibraianum BPR1107 in 2 L bottle provided the maximum cell density and maximum biomass (days 11) of 1,014.11+343.19 x104  cells/ml and 0.61+0.05 g/L, respectively. The specific growth rate of 0.98+0.10 per day or doubling time 0.72+0.07 day. The total lipid of 23.15+0.41% and found maximum fatty acid content was palmitic acid (76.73%). Batch culture of S. bibraianum BPR1107 in raceway pond provided the maximum cell density and maximum biomass (days 6) of 413.17+98.60 x104  cells/ml and 0.11+0.01 g/L, respectively. The specific growth rate of 0.74+0.11 per day or doubling time 0.95+0.13 day. The total lipid of 20.51+0.32% and found maximum fatty acid content was palmitic acid (60.89%). The analysis of the fatty acid profile of S. bibraianum BPR1107 showed that similar to palm oil. Therefore, microalgae S. bibraianum BPR1107 was feasible as feedstock for biodiesel production. The present study indicated that S. bibraianum BPR1107, was one alternative as a source for biodiesel production. Keywords  :  microalgae ; Selenastrum ; isolate ; growth ; lipid ; Bangpra Reservior
