Data on the Influence of Light Intensity and Glucose Concentration on Biomass Productivity of Nannochloropsis Micro-Algae in Sustainable Biofuel Development

These research work data were obtained from the experimental investigation and statistical analysis of the Influence of light intensity and glucose concentration on biomass productivity of oleaginous Nannochloropsis oceanica micro-Algae in sustainable biofuel development. Table 1 describes the chemical components and compositions of the nutrients (modified BG-11 stock solution and trace metals solution) that were used to prepare the modified blue-green algae growth medium. While table 2 and figure 1 show the positive linear relationship up to saturation point between daily biomass productivity of Nannochloropsis oceanica micro-algae and light intensities under photoautotrophic growth conditions. Also, the effect of glucose concentration on heterotrophic Nannochloropsis oceanica micro-algae biomass productivity is described by table 3 and figure 4. It can be observed that the growth rate of Nannochloropsis oceanica micro-algae under heterotrophic conditions was markedly affected by glucose concentration. Finally, tables 4 and 5 represent the parameters results of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the effect of light intensities and glucose concentrations on Nannochloropsis oceanica micro-algae biomass productivity under photoautotrophic and heterotrophic growth conditions respectively.
