| Abstract |
This study aimed to maximize biomass concentration, biomass productivity and biochemical composition of the marine microalga Tetraselmis sp. In the current study, Box-Behnken Design was used to model the effect of NaNO3, NaH2PO4, metals and vitamins in the F/2 medium on the growth, total chlorophylls, carotenoids and starch contents. The total chlorophylls content was quantified by spectrophotometry. The FT-IR spectroscopy was used to estimate the biochemical compositions of Tetraselmis sp. grown under both optimized medium culture for starch production and standard culture medium. Finalized NaNO3 (1.76 mM), NaH2PO4 (0.018 mM), metals (1500 μL.L(-1)) and vitamins (312.5 μL.L(-1)) concentrations, generated an increase in biomass concentration up to 5.72 g.L(-1) which contributed to an increase about 2.4-fold than that of the standard conditions of biomass productivity (408.57 mg.L(-1).day(-1)). The maximum value of carotenoids content (0.3 mg.g DW(-1)) was achieved at the highest level of all factors. The total chlorophylls content reached also its maximum (5.18 mg.g DW(-1)) at high nitrate (1.76 mM), phosphate (0.054 mM), metals and vitamins concentrations, while the maximum starch content (42% DW) was achieved with low nitrate and phosphate concentrations (0.58 mM and 0.027 mM) and with metals and vitamins limitations. Thus, the nitrogen, phosphorus, metals and vitamins limitations led to divert the metabolism for the starch biosynthesis. The high biomass concentration productivity and starch production make Tetraselmis sp. strain a good candidate for biotechnological applications. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 February 2017.
All research outputs
#18,534,624
of 22,955,959 outputs
Outputs from Lipids in Health and Disease
#989
of 1,453 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#237,630
of 310,302 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Lipids in Health and Disease
#20
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,955,959 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,453 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.1. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 310,302 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
