Abstract
The current study aims to investigate the
effect of different doses of electric filed on photosynthetic parameters in the
marine algae, Dunaliella salina, including total chlorophyll and
carotenoid content over different time points. The results of the study show
increase in alga biomass on treatment with electric field doses (1kv/10,
1kv/20, 1kv/30, 1kv/40, 1kv/50 and 1kv/60) for a period of I, II, III, IV and V
weeks. Exposure to electric field led to significant upsurge in carotenoid
production in the algae while chlorophyll destroy at higher voltage. The
findings of the current study will enable optimization of electric field
dynamics in order to harness potential benefits of the algal mechanics to increase
pigment production.
