Effect of basal media formulations on total chlorophyll (chl a + b) content, chl a/b ratio, and carotenoids levels of C. heterophyllus after 4 weeks of culture in liquid media.

Basal medium	Total Chl (μg g⁻¹ FW)	Chl a/b ratio	Carotenoids (μg g⁻¹ FW)
DKW	378 ± 65^b	2.53 ± 0.01	44.71 ± 3.12^a
G	425 ± 17^b	2.52 ± 0.51	24.40 ± 5.05^b
MS	585 ± 71^a	3.41 ± 0.31	53.59 ± 9.31^a
MS/2	556 ± 81^a	2.57 ± 0.31	48.38 ± 3.55^a
W	554 ± 86^a	2.06 ± 0.01	38.75 ± 6.65^a

^a,bValues are means ± SE. Means followed by the same letter were not significantly different according to Tukey's HSD test (P ≤ 0.05).
