RESUMO:

Bubalino whey, a rich agro-industrial waste generated by dairy industries, has caused environmental pollution due to erroneous disposal in watercourses. Low-cost carbon sources have been studied as an alternative to allow microalgae production costs, in which the buffalo cheese serum is inserted. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of buffalo cheese serum as an alternative medium for Spirulina platensis culture. Spirulina was grown in modified Zarrouk solution and buffalo cheese serum, randomly distributed in four treatments and three replicates, with treatments consisting of different percentages of solution and whey. The control treatment consisted of only modified Zarrouk solution. Upon reaching the decline phase the cultures were harvested, washed and filtered to remove salts and then lyophilized for further chemical-bromatological analyzes. Growth and biomass production were evaluated. Growth curves were performed using crop absorbance data and biomass dry weight determination. The use of different percentage of inclusion of buffalo cheese serum influenced the growth and later production of biomass demonstrating that buffalo cheese whey could be used as an alternative medium for the microalgae cultivar.
