I need some suggestions about the simplest way to control Spirulina culture pH in open pond? Can i use NaOH and HCL continuosly along the culture process, what the effect of these on Spirulina cell? Thankyou.
(Instead of using CO2)
As to get good spirulina , the pH of pond can be mentioned by appropriate alkaline solutions around 8.5 pH.
The environmental sustainability should be also considered, thus, endemic/endangered species protection should be taken under provision while applying such strong chemical agents. The following papers/published research works could be also checked and considered. They are all relevant, while the most of them are open accessible:
