Effect of LED Light Color on Growth Rates and Pigments Compositions of Tetraselmis chuii and Chlorella sp

Abstract

In this study, growth rates and pigments of Tetraselmis chuii and marine Chlorella sp. species were examined in different color LED lamps (yellow LED, white LED, blue-red LED). Cultures were growth in flasks that enriched with F/2 medium, arranged to pH 8, Cultivation temperatures were adjusted as 22±2ºC and the study was performed in triplicate. As a result of experiment, the highest cell densities were measured with yellow LED light for Tetraselmis chuii and marine Chlorella sp.
