Application of <i>Chlorella</i> sp. and <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp. in the Bioconversion of Urban Leachates into Industrially Relevant Metabolites
This paper explores the ability of <i>Chlorella</i> sp. and <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp. to convert landfill leachates into usable metabolites. Different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, and 10% <i>v</i>/<i>v</i>) of leachate coupled with an inorganic carbon sourc...

| description | This paper explores the ability of <i>Chlorella</i> sp. and <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp. to convert landfill leachates into usable metabolites. Different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, and 10% <i>v</i>/<i>v</i>) of leachate coupled with an inorganic carbon source (Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>, and NaHCO<sub>3</sub>) were tested to improve biomass production, metabolites synthesis, and removal of NO<sub>3</sub> and PO<sub>4</sub>. The result shows that both strains can effectively grow in media with up to 5% (<i>v</i>/<i>v</i>) leachate, while significantly reducing the concentrations of NO<sub>3</sub>, and PO<sub>4</sub> (80 and 50%, respectively). The addition of NaHCO<sub>3</sub> as a carbon source improved the final concentration of biomass, lipids, carbohydrates, and the removal of NO<sub>3</sub> and PO<sub>4</sub> in both strains. |
