Abstract
N. oculata merupakan salah satu jenis mikroalga yang memiliki kandungan nutisi yang tinggi seperti karbohidrat, protein, lipid, dan asam amino, sehingga banyak dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku biodiesel, sebagai suplemen pakan ternak, dll. N. oculata memiliki ukuran sel yang sangat kecil yakni berkisar 2-8 µm dan sulit mengendap. Faktor tersebut membuat N. oculata menjadi sulit untuk dipanen. Salah satu cara yang efisien untuk pemanenan mikroalga tersebut adalah metode flokulasi dan pengoptimalan pH. Bahan flokulan yang digunakan adalah kitosan. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari efektivitas konsentrasi kitosan untuk flokulasi N. oculata. Metode yang digunakan adalah eksperimen laboratorium, dan rancangan yang digunakan adalah rancangan faktorial dua faktor (Kitosan dan pH). Tahapan pelaksanaan penelitian dimulai dari kultur N. oculata pada wadah toples kaca selama 6 hari, diikuti dengan flokulasi, dan pengumpulan data, dan analisis data. Penelitian menggunakan dua perlakuan, yakni kitosan dan optimalisasi pH. Perlakuan dikelompokkan menjadi tiga konsentrasi diantaranya adalah 15, 20, dan 25 ppm masing-masing 3 kali pengulangan, sedangkan pH akhir yang digunakan adalah 10.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Marine Research publishes peer-reviewed research articles covering a broad array of topics in physical, biological and chemical oceanography. Articles that deal with processes, as well as those that report significant observations, are welcome. In the area of biology, studies involving coupling between ecological and physical processes are preferred over those that report systematics. Authors benefit from thorough reviews of their manuscripts, where an attempt is made to maximize clarity. The time between submission and publication is kept to a minimum; there is no page charge.
