Application of Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. in the Bioconversion of Urban Leachates into Industrially Relevant Metabolites

This paper explores the ability of Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus to convert landfill leachates into usable metabolites. Different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, 10% v/v) leachate coupled with an inorganic carbon source (Na2CO3, NaHCO3) were tested improve biomass production, metabolites synthesis, removal NO3 PO4. The result shows that both strains can effectively grow in media up 5% (v/v) leachate, while significantly reducing NO3, PO4 (80 50%, respectively). addition NaHCO3 as a improved final concentration biomass, lipids, carbohydrates, strains.
