Article Synopsis
- Microalgae cultivation in wastewater can turn waste into profit by treating effluents while producing valuable biomass, specifically focusing on Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp., and a mixed culture.
- Chlorella sp. showed no significant difference in growth rates compared to the mixed culture, and it outperformed Scenedesmus sp., which failed to grow in both tested waste streams (anaerobically digested municipal centrate and abattoir effluent).
- Chlorella sp. effectively removed ammonium, and its biomass contained a high protein content, while carotenoid and chlorophyll levels were better in cultures grown in abattoir effluent compared to municipal centrate.
