Molecular identification, biomass, and biochemical composition of the marine chlorophyte Chlorella sp. MF1 isolated from Suez Bay.

Consequently, the growth rate constant ( K ), the number of generations per unit time, was at 0.393 generations/day, and the maximum biomass ( M ) was 135.65 × 10 6 cells/ml (Table 2 ). Effect of salinity on growth rate and lipid content The results indicated that the biomass productivity ranged from a minimum of 4.147 ± 0.065 g DW l −1 at salinity 0.42 (100% distilled freshwater) to a maximum of 6.53 ± 0.286 g DW l −1 at salinity 40.4 (100% filtered seawater) with highly significant differences between salinity treatments ( p < 0.05 by ANOVA) (Fig. 6 ).
