This study presents gravimetric enrichment of mixed culture to screen starch and lipid producing species
separately in a sequencing batch reactor. In the enriched starch-producing mixed culture photobioreactor,
the starch content at the end of steady state batch became 3.42 times the beginning of depletion.
Whereas in the enriched lipid-producing photobioreactor, the lipid content at the end of steady state
batch became 3 times the beginning of famine phase. The obtained results revealed that the gravimetric
enrichment is a suitable screening method for specific production of storage compounds in none-sterile
large-scaled condition.
