Comparative Analysis of Laboratory-Based and Spectroscopic Methods Used to Estimate the Algal Density of Chlorella vulgaris

Microorganisms, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(6), P. 1050 - 1050

Published: May 23, 2024

Chlorella vulgaris is of great importance in numerous exploratory or industrial applications (e.g., medicals, food, and feed additives). Rapid quantification algal biomass crucial photobioreactors for the optimization nutrient management estimation production. The main goal this study to provide a simple, rapid, not-resource-intensive method determining density C. according measured parameters using UV–Vis spectrophotometry. Comparative assessment measurements were conducted with seven different methods filtration, evaporation, chlorophyll extraction, detection optical fluorescence) determine biomass. By analyzing entire spectra diluted algae samples, optimal wavelengths determined through stepwise series linear regression analyses by novel correlation scanning method, facilitating accurate parameter estimation. Nonlinear formulas spectrometry-based processes derived each parameter. As result, general formula concentration was developed, recommendations suitable measuring devices based on levels. New values magnesium content average single-cell weight established, addition development semiautomated cell counting improving efficiency accuracy cultivation biotechnology applications.
