Astaxanthin Based Indicator For Light Metals In Haematococcus pluvialis

Pollution of heavy metal was concerned as a critical and crucial issue with regards to environment biotechnology and agriculture biotechnology. A high concentration of heavy metal had been acknowledged as toxic for all organisms. In this case, toxicity of chromium would inhibit ion of enzymatic acti...

In this case, the mycelium of P. ostreatus would be cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium and the parameters involved were the different concentrations of Aluminum (Al) and Chromium (Cr) in different pH values. The optimum Cr and Al concentration for growth of P. ostreatus were found to be 40 mg/L and 120 mg/L respectively. On the other hand, the optimum pH value for growth of P. ostreatus in this research was pH 7 and pH 6 for both Cr and Al supplemented PDA media. 2017-05-31 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en http://eprints.intimal.edu.my/1036/1/BBTEI%20138.pdf Fan, Wei Jiong (2017) Astaxanthin Based Indicator For Light Metals In Haematococcus pluvialis.
