Abstract: The use of commercial-grade nutrients such as agricultural fertilizers is important for commercial microalgae cultivation, and this is particularly the case for biofuel production which is associated with low added value. Nitrogen is a very important macronutrient in microalgae cultivation, and ammonium sources are cheaper than nitrate sources. However, the growth response and cellular composition can be altered by the different nutrient sources. In the study reported here, we investigated the effects of different ammonium doses and commercial-grade macronutrients from agricultural fertilizers on the growth of Scenedesmus sp. BR003, a promising genus for biofuel production. Five growth media were developed using fertilizers and evaluated during Scenedesmus sp. cultivation under autotrophic conditions. The growth media differed in terms of their composition and concentration of macronutrients. We found that all commercial-grade media supported equal or higher cell concentrations, dry weight, water-soluble proteins, neutral carbohydrates, and total lipid production compared to the conventional BG11 medium. However, the commercial-grade growth medium with the highest ammonium content affected the coenobium pattern of Scenedesmus sp. BR003. Commercial-grade nutrient sources were a low-cost alternative to improve the growth of Scenedesmus sp. BR003. The different fertilizers also allowed for manipulation of microalgae chemical composition and phenotypic plasticity to target traits of commercial interest. Our results demonstrate the potential of using ammonium from agricultural fertilizers as a nitrogen source in combination with other commercial-grade macronutrients sources. In addition, this work demonstrates the ability of a robust Scenedesmus strain to grow in media of different compositions, even when a high dosage of ammonium was used.
