AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR CULTIVATION OF ALGAE

摘要

The present invention provides a method of an improved process for cultivation of algae, including development of a fast growing variety which overcomes the decreased growth in polythene bag and yield biomass similar to that grown in open cultures without a bag. Further, semi-refined carrageenan yield and quality of the plants developed from tissue culture were similar to the control parent plant. Also describes a methodology for clonal propagation of micro-propagules on large scale through somatic embryogenesis of pigmented callus cells.
