Growth Performance of Laboratory-Scale Chaetoceros calcitrans in Different Containers

Abstract

This study aims to compare the growth performance of Chaetoceros calcitrans cultured in different containers. The stages of this study consisted of tools and materials preparation, tools and materials sterilization, making culture media and vitamin, Chaetoceros calcitrans inoculant preparation. The result of this study shows that exponential phase in both containers occurred in day 7 with cell density in the glass jar (9.4 x 105 cells/ml) being higher than that in the plastic one (8.17 x 105 cells/ml).
