Indoor mass cultivation of marine diatoms for biodiesel production using induction plasma synthesized nanosilica
Abstract
In this work, two benthic marine diatoms Chaetoceros sp. and Thalassiosira sp. were grown in modified f/2 medium in which normal silica was replaced with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) nanosilica for indoor mass cultivation and its impact on growth, lipid content, lipid quality and metabolite production were monitored. Results indicate thatunder mass cultivation using ICP nano silica medium, Thalassiosirasp. reached 3.6 and Chaetoceros sp. reached 3.2-fold higher cell density compared to normal Si medium. The primary metabolite production and total lipid content was higher in Chaetoceros sp. (44.33 ± 2.51% DCW) compared to Thalassiosira sp. (29.66 ± 1.52% DCW). In mass cultivation, ICP synthesized nanosilica powder was effective in enhancing the cell density, production of metabolites, pigments, and lipids in the marine diatoms studied. This is the first report on the use of ICP nanosilica in carrying out indoor mass cultivation of marine diatom isolates as potential biodiesel and biomolecule feedstocks.

Many algae require specialist additions to the growth medium, e.g., diatoms require silica.
“Many algae require other specialist additions to the medium, e.g., diatoms which contain an outer 'shell' of silica will require this element to be added to the growth medium [35].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
