Water Quality Test and Site Selection for Suitable Species for Seaweed Farm in East Coast of Malaysia

8fungal spores/mL, pH 6.0, 76,6 % (w/v) moistures at 30°C for 10 days. Aromatic compounds resulted from SSF were then analyzed using GC/MS. Results showed that Pandanus tectorius fruits contained total sugars 13,015%, proteins 3%, lipids 1,39% and moisture content were 76,6%. This low sugars content in substrates seemed to be the main factor of Trichoderma viridae slow growth. There were 17 peaks of aromatic compounds detected in GC/MS, consisted of alkenes hydrocarbons (tetradecane, tertracosane, tetracosahexaene, pentadecane, hexacosane, heptadecane, and octadecane), alcohol (phenol), amide (9-octacenamide) and monoterpene aldehid (9-octadecenal). Therefore the fermentation conditions need to be further optimized to make better growth for fungi and higher aromatic compounds production.
