Identifying microalgae diversity in an ecosystem is essential not only to understand their impact on the ecosystem but also to recognize their potential in various applications that benefit humankind. The great biodiversity of microalgae and their ability to survive in drastic environmental by modifying their apparent phenotypes and cellular compositions has led to the continuous need for the development and modification of the current microalgae identification methods. This study evaluates the current culture-based identification method using two commonly used media (BG-11 and BBM) and the assessment of two modified media (MM) and a plant media (MS) to identify microalgae diversity …
