Abstract
In present research work impact of Monosodium glutamate (MSG) on the production & biochemical analysis of different pigment of spirulina has been done. As spirulina is a rainbow of pigment as it consists Chlorophyll a, Carotenoids including phycocyanin, phycoerythrin and allophycocyanin, for this spirulina maxima have been procured from Manjul Spirulina Samwardhan Sansthan Burthal Bassi Jaipur, Rajasthan. and sub cultured in spirulina lab Botany Department in CFTRI medium. In this MSG was used as additional nutrient in Spirulina maxima cultivation. MSG also known glutamic acid is one of the most common naturally occurring non essential amino acid and it is the main component of many proteins & peptides. For the studies it was revealed that Monosodium glutamate has been used as additional nutrient used to explore the impact on growth pattern of test alga Spirulina maxima following three sets were designed (a) MSG only (b) CFTRI only (c) MSG + CFTRI Optical density of the Spirulina maxima culture has been recorded regularly every 5 days interval up to 20 days at 415nm by using cistronic spectrophotometer 166. From the overall result it was found that CFTRI medium along with MSG shows good nutrient medium for the growth of Spirulna maxima
Key words: Monosodium glutamate, spirulina maxima, CFTRI medium, cultivation, Biomass.
