Data for designing microalgal consortia for higher yield.

Data Brief

New Mexico Consortium, 4200 W. Jemez Drive Suite 200, Los Alamos, NM 87544, USA.

Published: December 2022

The data reported here were directly used in the research article entitled "A novel approach to build algal consortia for sustainable biomass production (Mandal and Corcoran, 2022)". Data were collected to (1) generate microalgal consortia through a functional diversity approach and (2) test generated consortia against monocultures. Algal trait data (i.e., growth rate, carrying capacity) related to light, temperature, and salinity were collected in thirteen and strains grown under different resource levels/conditions. Trait values were used in an method to calculate the functional diversity index (FDi) in all possible consortia (8178 combinations). Two metrics, the Net Biodiversity Effect (NBE) and Overyielding (OY), were used to assess the utility of this functional dispersion approach in consortia building for algal production.

Wastewater treatment based on microalgae and bacteria symbiosis is an environmentally friendly, sustainable technology that has attracted attention recently because of its high efficiency in treating pollutants, saving energy, and short-term biomass recovery. Among them, the granular microalgae and bacteria combination emerges with the advantages of rapid gravity settling, good resistance to adverse environmental conditions, outstanding wastewater treatment performance, and easy biomass recovery. This review aims to clarify the microalgal-bacterial granule (MBG) - based process for wastewater treatment.

In the present study, nine Enterobacteriaceae species present in wastewater were isolated and identified, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was developed for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae by designing primers based on the mcr-1, KPC, OXA-23, and VIM genes, which are recognized markers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) transmission during microalgal bioremediation treatment. The developed assays successfully detected four strains positive for mcr-1 gene-asociated resistance (, , , and ), three strains for KPC gene-associated resistance ( sp., 15499, and ), seven strains for OXA-23 gene-associated resistance (, , , 15922, 51446, , and ), and three strains for resistance to the VIM gene-associated resistance (, sp.

Article Synopsis
  • Dark fermentation (DF) generates biohydrogen and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) but struggles with slow butyrate consumption.
  • This study explores using artificial microalgae-bacteria consortia to enhance butyrate removal rates, demonstrating that certain microalgae growth isn't hindered by bacteria but actually benefits from their presence.
  • Findings suggest that coupling DF effluents with microalgal cultivation can improve substrate removal and promote the production of valuable biomass.

Algal slurry (AS) generated from microalgae-based wastewater treatment processes holds significant potential for carboxylic acids production through anaerobic digestion (AD), which have emerged as promising products due to their high energy density, great economic value, and versatile applications. A comprehensive analysis of the pathways and optimization strategies for producing short-chain (SCCAs) and medium-chain (MCCAs) carboxylic acids using AS substrates is presented in this review. It begins by introducing and comparing two types of microalgae-based wastewater treatment processes: the microalgae process and the microalgal-bacterial consortia process.
