Bio-Remediation of Agro-Based Industries’ Wastewater and Mass Production of Spirulina (Spirulina platensis (Gomont) Geitler 1925)

Spirulina (Spirulina platensis (Gomont) Geitler 1925) is a cyanobacteria used as an ecologically sound, nutrient-rich dietary supplement. These microalgae have the capability to produce least-cost protein per unit area compared livestock and are therefore being investigated address malnutrition food security. Apart from variety of components, such animal feed, fertilizer, cosmetics, produced Spirulina, phytoremediation wastewater using economically viable environmentally sound tactic. A study was carried out with objectives quick removal waste selected wastewaters by agro-based industries identification suitable organic wastes costless media for growing S. its powder production. Wastewater fishponds poultry units, grain-soaked water, parboiled rice liquid were treatments inoculated stock cultures platensis. Treatments replicated three times along Zarrouk’s medium standard control arranged in randomized complete block design. The chemical parameters wastes, OD value, pH, EC (mS/cm), growth measured UH5300-Spectrophotometer wavelength 560 nm at two-day intervals. derived data analyzed SAS 9.4, significance results among determined according Duncan’s multiple range test, p < 0.05. showed that growth, harvestable density 0.8 very low concentration (25%) 7 days medium. maximum significant value 1.313 observed on day 15 non-significant other For fishpond wastewater, 0.567 obtained 15. pH declined 9.28 7.5 after days. values not significant. Among media, promotes better than locally available tested. This experiment concludes industries’ can be bio-remediated nutrient-enriched mass culture without nutrient supplements.
