Fresh water microalgae Chlorella sp. was isolated from water body of Taman Gelora, Kuantan, Pahang. The isolated monoculture was cultured in different concentration of POME (10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%, v/v) as substrate. The maximal growth and biomass productivity found in 30% (v/v) of POME. The max...
