Investigation on the use of blue and yellow light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for growth, proximate composition enhancement and morphology of marine microalga Isochrysis sp.

Microalgae are photoautotrophic organisms that need light as their main energy source. In this study, the growth, proximate composition and morphology of marine microalga, Isochrysis sp., cultured under blue and yellow light-emitting diodes (LED) with fluorescent light as control were compared...
