In this study, we investigated the outdoor production of a microalga C. vulgaris cultured in two different media under autotrophic cultivation: Bold Basal Medium (BBM) as the control and BBM supplemented with desalination concentrate (BBM + DC) using open raceway ponds (8 m(2)). Data were collected on the growth, biomass productivity and biochemical composition. The culture developed in BBM + DC showed a biomass productivity of 6.8 g m(-2) day(-1), while for the BBM control it was 8.5 g m(-2) day(-1). Intracellular protein was the main algal component (similar to 28.6%), followed by carbohydrate + fiber (similar to 26.0%) and lipids (similar to 5.0%). The predominant fatty acids were mainly alpha-linolenic (similar to 19.5%), palmitic (similar to 16.5%) and linoleic (similar to 10.0%) acids. This study demonstrates the feasibility of culturing C. vulgaris in an alternative medium based on DC in order to valorize the desalination wastewater through its application to algal mass production.
