Abstract
A method of cultivating algal biomass using oilfield hypersaline brine (HSB) including: admixing oilfield HSB with a first aqueous composition including source(s) of nitrogen and phosphorous to form an aqueous medium having a total salinity of from 0.1 to 40 g/L; inoculating the aqueous medium with an algal culture includingUTEX 1230 to form an aqueous growth medium; and, after a first duration, collecting algal biomass from the growth medium. The inoculant algal culture is obtained by subjectingUTEX 1230 to n media having serially increased salinity in the range from 0.1 to 40 g/L, where n is from 5 to 10. The first medium of the series has a salinity of from 0.1 to 10 g/L and the nmedium of the series has a salinity of from 30 to 40 g/L. TheUTEX 1230 is isolated from each medium of the series.
