In this research, solely effects of different concentrations of Zn (450, 900 and 1350 mg/l) and Mn (75, 150 and 225 mg/l), and their combined effects (450+75, 900+150, and 1350+225 from Zn+Mn in mg/l) on some physiological parameters of population dynamic, growth, chlorophyll and carotenoid contains in green microalgae Scenedesmus quadricauda were investigated under laboratory conditions of temperature of 22±2 ºC, photoperiod of 12 hours light : 12 hours dark, and light intensity of 80 µmol photons/m2/s. The experiment was carried out as completely randomized design with three replications for a 22 days period. Results showed that the peak of population density obtained at 900 mg/L of Zn, 150 mg/l of Mn and their combination 900+150 mg/l of Zn+Mn. The maximum growth rates were 0.060, 0.058 and 0.056 /day for Zn, Mn and their combination, respectively. The minimum doubling time of population attained 11.6 days at 900 mg/l of Zn. The maximum chlorophyll a and total carotenoid were 1.8 and 93.2 mg/L, respectively, at 900 mg/L of Zn which had significant differences with other treatments. The findings of this study showed that increasing of Zn until 900 mg/L and Mn until 150 mg/l that resulted to improving of population, growth, chlorophyll a and total carotenoid in the S. quadricauda. As conclusion, this study illustrated that changing of Zn concentration in BBM medium had significant effects on cell density, chlorophyll a and total carotenoid. In addition, the Zn effects on physiological characters were higher than Mn and its increasing to concentration of 900 mg/l caused improving them in S. quadricauda. M3 ER -
