Abstract

The main aim of the present study is to investigate the availability of macronutrient andmicronutrient in AnPOME. All collected samples were analyzed using HACH method. Theresults reveal that the C/N and N/P ratio of the AnPOME is six times more than the theoreticalvalue. Concentration of micronutrients also shown higher concentration range compared tothat of the Bold Basal Medium (BBM). However, the concentration of phosphorus inAnPOME six times lower than nitrogen indicates that phosphorus limitation in AnPOME.Hence, this finding suggested the best microalgae to be grown in AnPOME is mixotrophic orheterotrophic mode. Overall, reuse of AnPOME replacing synthetic growth is highlyrecommended considering that enough composition of macronutrient and micronutrient inAnPOME and inexpensive alternative to synthetic media.Keywords: microalgae; Anaerobic Palm Oil Mill Effluent (AnPOME); BBM; macronutrient;micronutrient.
