Isolation and cultivation of green alga, Pediastrum spp. for nutritional value study
Green microalgae Pediastrum spp. from Chiang Mai Moat, Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand were isolated in Jaworski's medium (JM) at 25 °C under continuous light. Dominant species in this study were selected for optimal study of media, pH and temperature. Cell density was determined spectro...
