Use Zarrouk media for culturing of A. platensis.

Mohamed Amar Naqqiuddin

you may use 1) streak plate isolation technique

or 2) serial dilution technique

or 3) centrifugal separation for Spirulina at 5000 rpm.

as mentioned for culturing, standard medium you can use Zarrouk media, or you may try our modified Zarrouk media, one without salinity effects or one treated with salinity. Both produced good results.

there are other medias, BBM, Jordan media..try search for it.
