TI  - Lipid Productivity of Marine Microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta in Marmara  Seawater and Johnson’s Media with Different Salinities and Evaluation as A  Raw Material Source for Biofuel Production
AB  - The valuable components from microalgae are increasingly used in the synthesis of several commercial  chemicals. Lipids from major microalgae crops are similar to lipids obtained from oilseed plants and can be converted  into biodiesel, moreover, microalgae are more advantageous than plants in oil production in many ways. Therefore,  oil and biodiesel production technology from microalgae is a current and interesting research topic. The effect of  salinity in the nutrient medium on the growth and lipid productivity of marine microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta was  examined. The usability of Marmara Seawater (MSW) as a growth medium and its suitability for microalgae were  also investigated. The highest cell concentration (1.53 gdw / L), growth rate (μmax=0.006 h -1 ) and oil productivity (12.8  (g / L. Day) (10-3 )) in nutrient medium (5g) were obtained. On the other hand, the cetane (CN) number was calculated  according to the dominant arachidic acid (C20:0), it was determined as 74.9 and the mean molecular weight of the oil  was determined as 849.1 g / mol. According to the experimental results, it is predicted that microalgae lipids will be  widely used as an alternative to vegetable oils soon as raw materials.
