Growth Performance and Biochemical Composition of Waste-Isolated Microalgae Consortia Grown on Nano-Filtered Pig Slurry and Cheese Whey under Mixotrophic Conditions

The cultivation mode plays a vital role in algal growth and composition. This paper assessed the ability of twelve algae–microbial consortia (ACs) originally selected from organic wastes when nano-filtered pig slurry wastewater (NFP) cheese whey (CW) were used as substrates mixotrophic comparison with photoautotrophic mode. Nutrient uptake ability, biochemical composition, fatty acids, amino acid profiles ACs compared between both conditions. On average, 47% higher rates 35% N found along significant P TOC removal rates. Changing did not affect AA FA composition but improved EAA content, providing potential for AC_5 AC_4 to be local protein feed supplements. results also showed possibility AC_6 AC_1 omega-3 supplements due their low ?-6–?-3 ratio.
