From: A novel nanoemulsion-based microalgal growth medium for enhanced biomass production
Growth profile of C. pyrenoidosa was observed in terms of biomass yield (g L−1) in 1% silicone oil nanoemulsion (1% SE), 1% paraffin oil nanoemulsion (1% PE), and control (BG11). The cultures were operated at 25 ± 1 °C with ~ 46.5 to 50 μmol m−2 s−1 light intensity for 12 days. The data shown are the average of two data points, and error bars represent standard deviation. Data followed by an asterisk (*) are significantly different from control (p < 0.005, analyzed by t-test)
