Incorporating saline microalgae biomass in anaerobic digester treating sewage sludge: Impact on performance and microbial populations.

The aim of this study was to acclimate anaerobic prokaryotes to saline microalgae biomass. Semi-continuous experiments were conducted using two 1.5 L mesophilic reactors for 10 weeks, (hydraulic retention time of 21 days).

Impact of salinities, metals and organic compounds found in saline oil & gas produced water on microalgae and cyanobacteria.

This work evaluates the impact of salinity and the toxicity of some metals and organic compounds commonly found in produced waters on the growth of model photosynthetic organisms. Five strains of marine microalgae and one cyanobacteria (i.e.
