In a 250-mL flask, the cultures grew well under 24 h illumination with maximum specific growth rate, μ max, of 0.12 day-1 and lipid content of 35 as compared to 0.1 day-1 and 15 lipid content in the dark. The salinity was optimum for the cell growth at 30-35 ppt, but the lipid content of 34-36 was higher at 35-40 ppt. Algal growth and lipid accumulation was optimum at pH 8-9. Large-scale cultivation in 5-L and 30-L tanks achieved μ max of 0.13-0.14 day-1 as compared to 0.12 day -1 in small-scale and 300L cultures. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg and the University of Milan. date: 2014 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84894458393&doi=10.1007%2fs13213-013-0645-6&partnerID=40&md5=322ff66f228d8c0d1ae9d77914aa3b59 id_number: 10.1007/s13213-013-0645-6 full_text_status: none publication: Annals of Microbiology volume: 64 number: 1 pagerange: 157-164 refereed: TRUE issn: 15904261 citation: Shah, S.M.U. and Che Radziah, C. and Ibrahim, S. and Latiff, F. and Othman, M.F. and Abdullah, M.A. (2014) Effects of photoperiod, salinity and pH on cell growth and lipid content of Pavlova lutheri.
