During the experimental period (15 day), optical density, pH, dry weight (g L -1), chlorophyll a (?g mL -1) and phycocyanin concentration (?g mL -1) were measured on daily basis. The chlorophyll a amount of 18.30 ?g mL -1 was determined for the group containing 0.3mM Fe +3 with EDTA and 17.17 ?g mL -1 chlorophyll a content was obtained from the group containing 0.3mM Fe +2 with EDTA. Phycocyanin content was found 73.42 ?g mL -1 for the group containing 0.3mM Fe +2 with EDTA, 62.13 ?g mL -1 for control group, and 56.75 ?g mL -1 was found for the group containing 0.3mM Fe +3 with EDTA. According to these results, Fe +3 and Fe +2 forms were found to be more effective in presence of EDTA on the growth of S.platensis. © by PSP.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessIron formLigandPhycocyaninSpirulina platensisThe effects of two different fe forms (Fe +2and Fe +3) and artificial ligand EDTA on the growth of spirulina platensis (cyanophyta)Article208188818942-s2.0-80052351736N/A
