Selection of a Nutrient Medium for the First Green Microalgae Isolated In Uzbekistan Ava Limnothalassea
Abstract
For the first time under the conditions of Uzbekistan, the ability of an algologically pure strain of the green microalga Ava limnothalassea to produce wet biomass, total protein, and lipids was studied using traditional culture media widely utilized in scientific literature: modified AF6 (AF6), Allen (Allen), modified BG-11 (BG-11), Bold’s Basal Medium (BBM), Bold-3N, modified C, modified "CAM", Carefoot (Cary-L), and Chu-10 (Chu-10). It was noted that these culture media are of significant importance for the isolation of blue-green and green algae, as well as for the analysis of their physiological and biochemical characteristics. At the same time, it was indicated that definitive conclusions regarding the biomass accumulation, protein, and lipid content of the microalga Ava limnothalassea cannot be drawn based solely on the use of these media. Despite the substantial scientific and practical significance of the results obtained, the necessity of conducting comprehensive future research to study the properties of the green microalga Ava limnothalassea on various culture media designed for cyanobacteria and microalgae is emphasized.
