To explore appropriate concentration of K+ that was required to growth of Dunaliella salina,the effects of different K+ levels (1、4、8、12 mmol/L)on the growth of Dunaliella salina were studied under laboratory conditions. Using ANOVA and multiple comparisons, cell concentrations of Dunaliella salina on the 11th day were analyzed. The results showed that only between the group of 8 mmol/L and the group of 12 mmol/L had significant difference (0.01
