Developing biomass augmentation strategy for cultivation of Marvania coccoides using fruit waste and wastewater based growth medium for biodiesel production.

Microalgae cultivation using waste as nutrient source can minimize the use of expensive chemical nutrients and valuable freshwater. In present work, novel microalgae Marvania coccoides was cultivated in fruit waste (FW) and wastewater (WW) based growth medium. To further augment metabolites and biomass, the culture was supplemented with phytohormone, kinetin (K).
