Consejos de cultivo
Maintain culture pH above 9.5 with sodium bicarbonate; the extreme alkalinity is spirulina's natural defense against contamination by other organisms.
Harvest daily by filtering 25-30% of the culture through fine mesh (40-50 micron); press and dry the biomass rapidly at below 65C to preserve nutrients.
Monitor culture density daily with a Secchi disc (8-12 cm reading is optimal); too dense = light limitation, too sparse = photoinhibition and contamination risk.
