Abstract

Universitas Pakuan is one of the universities in Bogor which has a chemistry education laboratory for practical purposes. In this study, the room tested is the instrument room and preparation room. Air testing of this work environment refers to the Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 05 of  2018. The test results for the instrument room and preparation room found that the levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) in the two rooms do not show any indication of  NO2 and O3 pollution with result values below the detection limit testing (0.0066 ppm and 0.0491 ppm).

Abstract

In the current trend of the upstream stage of microalgal bioprocessing studies, many works mainly focused on optimizing microalgal cultivation parameters for obtaining a high yield of either biomass or a particular metabolite. Meanwhile, efforts to alternatively provide affordable growth medium are considered still limited to be performed. This study aims to provide an alternative microalgal growth medium from commercial fertilizers and supplements provided by a particular Indonesian company. Our proposed microalgal growth medium was developed by considering the chemical contents of the products with the essential components of an established Guillard f/2 microalgal growth medium. By employing the developed growth medium in Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Botryococcus braunii cultivation, similar growth profiles were shown in both green microalgae with optimum time for biomass harvesting encouraged within two weeks of cultivation. Regarding biomass productivity, 0.19 g and 0.20 of dried biomass were averagely obtained from 1 L cultures of Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Botryococcus braunii, respectively. This finding implies that two Indonesian fertilizer products could be utilized as the main ingredient of moderate performance of green microalgal growth medium.

Abstract

This research aims to provide some information regarding the metabolite contents of the green microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa cultivated in designed saline water enriched with affordable commercial fertilizer products in Indonesia. Chlorella pyrenoidosa growth conditions and bioactive compounds were obtained through cultivation and extraction processes. The microalga growth in two different conditions   was analyzed based on growth curves between microalgae cultivated in a Guillard f/2 medium   and the Cobalt-less fertilizer-enriched saline water.   The biomass was profiled using UPLC-QToF-MS and DPPH assay. As a result, Chlorella pyrenoidosa cultures were normally grown on fertilizer-enriched saline water, but with a lower yield performance than those cultivated in the Guillard f/2 medium. The UPLC-QToF-MS result implies that several peptide and lipid derivatives were detected in the harvested microalgal biomass, with the peptide derivatives as the dominant compounds. The limited antioxidant performance was displayed by the untreated biomass extract. This finding implies that several optimizations are still required in the upstream and downstream stages in culturing Chlorella pyrenoidosa by using an uncommon growth medium.
