Abstract This study exploited the different combinations of nutritional modes (autotrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic) green alga Scenedesmus obliquus in a two-stage cultivation process to remediate wastes as well maximise production high-protein algal biomass. The was first cultivated autotrophically Stage-one, using 0.5% digestate nutrient source natural light support growth; afterward, culture concentrated used Stage-two under modes. 2.5% anaerobic from food waste provide inorganic...
Digestate produced from the anaerobic digestion of food and farm waste is primarily returned to land as a biofertiliser for crops, with its potential generate value through alternative processing methods at present under explored. In this work, valorisation digestate resulting treatment kitchen was investigated, using dilution, settlement membrane technology. Processed subsequently tested nutrient source cultivation Chlorella vulgaris, up pilot-scale (800L). Dilution down 2.5% increased rate...
The bioremediation of digestate using microalgae presents a solution to the current eutrophication issue in Northwest Europe, where use as soil fertiliser is limited, thus resulting an excess digestate. Ammonium main nutrient interest for microalgal cultivation, and improving its availability consequent uptake crucial optimal bioremediation. This work aimed determine influence pH on ammonium cultures two green microalgae, additionally screened their growth performances three digestates...
The anaerobic digestion, AD, process presents a solution for sustainable waste management, greenhouse gas mitigation and energy production growing population needs requirements. Adopting biorefinery approach that utilises different feedstock may enhance support optimisation of the digestion process. Algae is promising could be used via Microalgal biomass rich in carbohydrates lipids; however, many species algae exhibit tough cell walls also difficult to digest influence or inhibit efficiency...
Municipal and agricultural waste treatment is one of the key elements reducing environmental impact with direct effects on economy society. Algal technology has been tested to enable effective recycling valorisation wastewater nutrients including carbon, nitrogen phosphorus. An integrated evaluation optimisation sustainability an algal bio-refinery, mass energy balances, water nutrient use analysis, was assessed. A bio-refinery approach remediation using cultivation developed at Swansea...
The nutrient removal efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris cultivated in domestic wastewater was investigated, along with the potential to use membrane filtration as a pre-treatment tool during treatment process. batch for 12 days bubble column system two different treatments. Maximum uptake 94.18% ammonium (NH4-N) and 97.69% ortho-phosphate (PO4-P) occurred 0.2 μm filtered primary wastewater. Membrane enhanced performance C. by removing bacteria, protozoa, colloidal particles suspended solids,...
Abstract The “UV sunscreen” compounds, the mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are widely reported in cyanobacteria and known to be induced under ultra-violet (UV) light. However, impact of far red (FR) light on MAA biosynthesis has not been studied. We report results from two experiments measuring transcriptional regulation aromatic acid pathways filamentous cyanobacterium Chlorogloeopsis fritschii PCC 6912. first experiment, comparing UV with white light, shows expected upregulation...
The use of microalgae as a sustainable source n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) an alternative to fish oils from small pelagic (e.g., anchovy, sardine) has received growing interest in the past few years. present study aimed to: (i) produce Aurantiochytrium mangrovei biomass by heterotrophic fermentation using medium containing anaerobic digestion liquid effluent, and (ii) evaluate rich LC-PUFA good quality proteins feed ingredient for sea bass juveniles larvae. Two 800 L...
Antifouling (AF) paints are used to prevent the attachment of living organisms submerged surfaces ships, boats and aquatic structures, usually by release biocides. Apart from copper, organic booster biocides main active components in AF paints, but their use can have a negative impact on marine environment. The direct effects bacteria poorly known. This work investigates two biocides, viz. diuron tolylfluanid, growth viability microorganisms ability form biofilms. solution were found inhibit...
An algal consortium was isolated from an integrated steelmaking site at TATA Steel Strip Products Ltd. in Port Talbot, UK, and its bioremediation capacity tested. Excellent "bioremediation" observed when the mixed culture "applied" to diluted effluent enhanced anaerobic digestion plant Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water UK. After 5 days of cultivation a 600-L photobioreactor, 99% total nitrogen (initial level, 4500 μmol L-1) phosphorus 690.4 were removed waste stream. The deposited Culture Collection...
Abstract This research work consists on valorizing poultry waste by biotransformation into biofertilizers, associating this agro‐industrial with algae (abundant natural resources) and molasses (a by‐product of the sugar refining industry) ensuring a good contribution nutritional chemical elements obtaining balanced formulation. A total seven different formulations above three components, were examined in simplex centroid design. fungal inoculum Aspergillus niger was used as fermentation...
The brewing industry is a major part of the agri-food sector, but its fermentation processes contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions, exacerbating greenhouse gas crisis. Achieving net-zero emissions requires innovative solutions, and this study explored one such solution by using microalgae capture from brewery while simultaneously generating valuable bioproducts. Two species, Tetradesmus obliquus Limnospira maxima, were cultivated in 1000 L raceway 400 tubular photobioreactor, both...
Improving mass cultivation of cyanobacteria is a goal for industrial biotechnology. In this study, the thermophilic cyanobacterium Chlorogloeopsis fritschii was assessed biomass production under light-emitting diode white light (LEDWL), far-red (FRL), and combined (WLFRL) adaptation. The induction chl f confirmed at 24 h after transfer culture from LEDWL to FRL. Using (WLFRL), f, a, d, maintained same level concentration in comparison FRL conditions. However, phycocyanin xanthophylls...
