Resumo
A biotecnologia utilizada no cultivo de microalgas à base de meio comercial é de alto custo. Sendo assim, alguns estudos indicam que o uso de meios de cultura alternativos com a finalidade de reduzir o preço de produção em curto espaço de tempo e mantendo alto valor nutricional, são procedimentos a serem adotados. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade de diferentes meios de cultivo a base de macrófitas. O meio com macrófita foi associado ao fertilizante inorgânico NPK (20:5:20). O experimento foi conduzido no período de 28 dias em triplicata. O meio de cultura com E. crassipes alcançou maior densidade celular (434 x 105 cel. mL-1), comparado com os outros meios de cultura com macrófitas que variaram de 319,7 x 105 cel. mL-1 (E. azurea) a 223,5 x 105 cel. mL-1 (T. domingensis). Durante o período experimental o oxigênio dissolvido, pH e condutividade elétrica não apresentaram diferenças significativas (P>0,05). A taxa de crescimento e densidade celular da microalga cultivada em meio de cultura com plantas aquáticas foram maiores (P>0,05) do que no meio NPK porém, similares (P<0,05) ao meio comercial CHU12. Em relação aos nutrientes, o teor de N (67 g.L-1) foi o mais elevado no meio de cultura com T. domingensis e os demais nutrientes (P, K, Ca, S, B, Cu, Fe e Zn) apresentaram concentrações abaixo de 35 g.L-1, nos diferentes meios utilizados. O uso de macrófitas como fonte alternativa para ser utilizada como meio de cultura no desenvolvimento de A. gracilis demonstrou ser viável tanto do ponto de vista econômico, nutricional e com elevada biomassa algal, sendo que E. crassipes, E. azurea e T. domingensis apresentaram os melhores resultados.
Since biotechnology in commercial medium-based culture of microalgae has very high costs, several studies recommend alternative medium cultures to reduce product costs in a short time period, coupled to high nutritional values. Objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of different macrophytes based culture media. Medium with macrophyte was associated with inorganic fertilizer NPK (20:5:20). Assay was conducted for 28 days, in triplicate. Culture medium with E. crassipes had the greatest cell density (434 x 105 cel. mL-1) when compared to other culture media with macrophytes and ranged between 319.7 x 105 cel. mL-1 (E. azurea) and 223.5 x 105 cel. mL-1 (T. domingensis). Dissolved oxygen, pH and electric conductivity did not show any significant differences during the experimental period (p>0.05). Growth rate and cell density of microalga cultivated in a medium with aquatic plants were greater (p>0.05) than in NPK medium, albeit similar (p<0.05) to the commercial medium CHU12. Further, N rate (67 g.L-1) was the highest in culture medium with T. domingensis, whilst the other nutrients (P, K, Ca, S, B, Cu, Fe and Zn) had lower than 35 g.L-1 concentrations in the different media employed. The use of macrophytes as an alternative source as culture medium in the development of A. gracilis proved to be viable from the economic and nutritional point of view, coupled to high algal biomass. E. crassipes, E. azurea and T. domingensis provided the best results.
