Biomass productivity, lipid content, and lipid productivity of the microalgae strains.
| Strains | Parameters | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Biomass productivity (BP, g L−1 day−1) |
Lipid content (LC, %dwt)* | Volumetric lipid productivity Pb × LC × 1000 (LP, mg L−1 day−1) |

| Dunaliella salina (Shariati) | 0.05A | 18.9 ± 1.1A | 10.26 ± 0.4A |
| D. salina (UTEX) | 0.15C | 24 ± 1.3B | 36.48 ± 0.6C |
| D. salina (CCAP19/18) | 0.14B | 25.1 ± 0.7B | 35.14 ± 0.2C |
| Dunaliella sp. (Persian Gulf) | 0.15C | 22 ± 2B | 33 ± 0.3B |
| 1# | 0.14B | 25 ± 0.5C | 36.15 ± 0.9C |
| 2# | 0.14B | 27 ± 0.5C | 38.6 ± 0.4D |
| 3# | 0.12B | 33 ± 1D | 39.3 ± 0.6D |
*All cultures harvested after reaching the stationary phase and LC was determined based on the Bligh and Dyer method [33]. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). Means of BP, LC, and LP are compared using one-way ANOVA and ones with different letter are significantly different (at P < 0.05).
