Growth profiles were analyzed by changing nutrient compositions in three different media (Walne, plain seawater, and modified seawater) and irradiance intensities. Navicula sp. cells showed significant growth in Walne and modified seawater medium but not in plain seawater medium. The microalgae grew well in a pH range of 7.8-8.4, and the cells were very sensitive to the intensity of direct sunlight exposure. The average cell concentration obtained from the cultures in plain seawater,Walne, and modified seawater media at the beginning of the stationary phase was 0.70, 2.17, and 2.54 g/L, respectively. Electron spray ionization-ion trap-mass spectrometry showed that the triacylglycerols of the algae oil were identified as POP (palmitic-oleic-palmitic), POO (palmitic-oleic-oleic), and OOLn (oleic-oleiclinoleic). The oil productivity of Navicula sp. cultivated inWalne and modified seawater media was 90 and 124 μL L-1 culture d -1. The Navicula sp. biodiesel exhibited a kinematic viscosity of 1.299 mm2/s, density of 0.8347 g/mL, and internal energy of 0.90 kJ/mL. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Benthic microalgae,Marine diatoms,Modified seawater medium,Navicula sp,TAG[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Benthic microalgae,Biodiesel,Modified seawater medium,Navicula sp.,Oil productivity,TAG,Tropical marine diatom[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Acknowledgments The financial support from the Southeast Asian Regional Centre for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture–Seed Fund for Strategic Research and Training Program and from the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Republic of Indonesia, through Beasiswa Unggulan Program as well as from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Institut Teknologi Bandung, through the program of I-MHERE are gratefully acknowledged.
