Author information: (1)Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Beni-Suef Branch, Egypt. The performance of microalgae aquaculture wastewater treatment system predominated mainly by Scenedesmus and Chlorella was assessed.
Given time, we can expect to see further research on and use of microalgae in wastewater treatment. Efforts to implement microalgae processes into wastewater treatment can be costly.

Microalgae can be used for the treatment of municipal wastewater. The application of microalgal biofilms in wastewater treatment systems seems attractive, being able to remove nitrogen, phosphorus and COD from wastewater at a short hydraulic retention time. This study therefore investigates the area requirement, achieved effluent concentrations and biomass production of a hypothetical large
Isolation of Axenic Uniclonal Cultures. Wastewater sampled from the Jimei wastewater plant (Xiamen, China) was serially diluted from 10 to 10 5 times and plated on sterile agar plates prepared by adding 1.5% agar to BG11 medium .In this study no specific permissions were required for the location, which is one of the public wastewater treatment plants in Xiamen.

1. Introduction. Maturation and facultative ponds provide simple and cost-effective wastewater treatment (WWT) capabilities that are used by thousands of communities worldwide (Shilton, 2005).However, while microalgae contribute to pollutant removal in these systems (Rittmann and McCarty, 2001), neither facultative nor maturation ponds are specifically designed and operated to optimize algal
Microalgal biotechnology has gained considerable importance in recent decades and its use is extending day by day into several areas like nutraceutical research, renewable energy source, production of essential biomolecules like β-carotene, astaxanthin, PUFA, bio colorant production, wastewater treatment, bioremediation and aquaculture etc. Among all these, microalgae as a source of nutrition
Evaluation of native microalgae from Tunisia using the
Microalgae are attracting much attention as a promising feedstock for renewable energy production, while simultaneously providing environmental benefits. So far, comparison studies for microalgae selection for this purpose were mainly based on data obtained from batch cultures, where the lipid content and the growth rate were the main selection parameters.
A number of business opportunities may arise from microalgae and wastewater treatment becoming an integrated system, as biofuels and high-added value products could be obtained simultaneously. This study, performed under controlled and non-controlled conditions, aimed at cultivating Chlorococcum sp. using a digestate from pig manure as culture medium and assessing its growth and biochemical
Microalgal/cyanobacterial biofilm formation on selected
The increased interest in photosynthetic microorganisms for wastewater treatment processes has led to the demand for new biomass harvesting strategies. Biofilm systems have emerged as a good alternative to planktonic photosynthetic cultures. However, knowledge on the environmental aspects influencing microalgal/cyanobacterial biofilm formation is required.
