In this study, ten different species of macroalgae - Stypopodiutn scthimperi (Phaeophyta), Sargassum vulgare (Phaeophyta). Dictyota dichotoma (Phaeophyta). Cystoseria cotnpressct (Phaeophyta), Padina pavonia (Phaeophyta). Ulva intestinalis (Chlorophyta), Halopteris scoparia (Phacophyta), Laurencia obtusa (Rhodophyta), Jania rubens (Rhodophyta) and Cystoseira corniculata (Phaeophyta) collected from Iskenderun Bay on the northeastern Mediterranean coast, were subjected to fermentation process. In order to obtain fermented algal fertilizers (FAF), two different fermentation starters were used; sugar beet molasses (Beta vulgaris) alone and combination of brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) 2, sugar beet molasses. Chemical contents of FAFs were determined and combining brewer's yeast and sugar beet molasses as fermentation starter resulted in higher content of organic matter, total N, total K2O, water-soluble Ca, SO3 in FAF (p <0.05).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMacroalgae; fermentation; liquid fertilizer; content; methodArticle29867806789WOS:000629177800048Q4
