What is Microalgae Cultivation for Wastewater Treatment about?
The document summarizes a study on culturing the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in wastewater to produce biomass for biofuel feedstock. C. reinhardtii was grown in artificial media and different types of wastewater in flasks and a biocoil photobioreactor. The wastewaters contained varying levels of nutrients that influenced algae growth. High nutrient levels initially inhibited but later supported high growth. Optimal pH was around 7.5. Air and moderate CO2 promoted growth while too much CO2 inhibited
