Abstract

Spirulina fusiformis is an economically important cyanobacterium well known for diverse biological activities and nutritional significance due to high concentration of natural products. In recent years, they have gained more importance because of their tremendous potential in the field of biotechnology, biofuel, functional food, nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical industries. The present study was focused on screening of low cost synthetic medium combination along with animal waste that would enhance the growth of Spirulina fusiformis. The biomass was evaluated on the basis of its photosynthetic pigments. The results obtained from the study indicated that SM-1 synthetic medium is most suitable nutrient media for the growth of S. fusiformis.
