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. 

Keywords
