This data in brief (DIB) article is related to a Research article entitled 'Optimising an outdoor membrane photobioreactor for tertiary sewage treatment' [1]. Data related to the effect of substrate turbidity, the ammonium concentration at which the culture reaches nitrogen-deplete conditions and the microalgae growth rate under outdoor conditions is provided. Microalgae growth rates under different substrate turbidity were obtained to assess the reduction of the culture's light availability. Lab-scale experiments showed growth rates reductions of 22-44%. Respirometric tests were carried to know the limiting ammonium concentration in this microalgae-based wastewater treatment system. Growth rates (μ) of green microalgae and obtained under outdoor conditions; i.e. 0.40 d (R = 0.993) and 0.43 d (R = 0.995), respectively, can be useful to obtain optimum operating conditions of membrane photobioreactor (MPBR).

This study presents a theoretical and mathematical analysis and modelling of the emerging microalgal membrane photobioreactors (M-MPBRs) for wastewater treatment. A set of mathematical models was developed to predict the biological performances of M-MPBRs. The model takes into account the effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT), solid retention time (SRT), and the N/P ratio of influent on the biological performance of M-MPBRs, such as microalgal biomass production and nutrient (N and P) removals.

Currently, there is a growing concern about water scarcity. The rising demand for wastewater treatment systems that facilitate the reuse of wastewater has resulted in a focus on the use of microalgae in sustainable treatments. These methods not only eliminate nutrients from the wastewater but also produce biomass that can be used to obtain high-value products.

Article Synopsis
- The study addresses challenges in measuring cell growth in cyanobacteria due to issues like self-shading and uneven CO levels in traditional photobioreactors.
- A new microfluidic platform allows for precise monitoring of cyanobacterial growth, providing uniform light and accurate CO supply at the single-cell level.
- The research demonstrated that under controlled conditions, cyanobacterial growth is stable with synchronized cell division, but growth ceases quickly in darkness and is limited by low CO levels.
Polyunsaturated triacylglycerol accumulation mainly attributes to turnover of de novo-synthesized membrane lipids in stress-induced starchless Chlamydomonas.

Assembly of PUFA-attached TAGs is intimately correlated to turnover of newly formed membrane lipids in starch-deficient Chlamydomonas exposed to high light and nitrogen stress under air-aerated mixotrophic conditions. Triacylglycerols (TAGs) rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in microalgae have attracted extensive attention due to its promising application in nutraceuticals and other high-value compounds. Previous studies revealed that PUFAs accumulated in TAG primarily derived from the dominant membrane lipids, monogalactosyldiacylglycerolipid, digalactosyldiacylglycerol and diacylglycerol-N,N,N-trimethylhomoserine (DGTS), in the model alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
