Mother Culture

Kovai Agro Farms mother culture Selected strains of algae are used for cultivation in constant agitation of water. This is an important parameter in the cultivation of Organic spirulina. Agitation of algae culture is necessary to keep nutrients evenly dispersed and also to expose all the cells to sunlight. The algal biomass is carefully harvested using specially made filters to recover the biomass. The harvested biomass is dried using the cross flow drier. The produce obtained is in the form of flakes. It is ground in the pulveriser to get the powder of the desired mesh size.

To get an optimal yield, maintenance of required nutrient level, cell density, culture depth etc., are some of the critical parameters in the process of Organic spirulina cultivation. The yield of Organic spirulina is expressed as grams per cubic metre per day.
