Availability of Deep Seawater and Effects of Bacteria Isolated from Deep Seawater on the Mass Culture of Food Microalga Chaetoceros ceratosporum.

Abstract

The possible availability of deep seawater (DSW; seawater under the euphotic layer) and bacteria isolated from DSW (BDS) for the mass culture of food microalga Chaetoceros ceratosporum was investigated. Seawater samples pumped up from a depth of 320m at the kochi Deep Seawater Laboratory in Muroto, Kochi Prefecture, were collected and used for cultivation of C. ceratos-
