Enhanced activity of ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase and formation of starch induced by Azospirillum brasilense in Chlorella vulgaris.
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) regulates starch biosynthesis in higher plants and microalgae. This study measured the effect of the bacterium Azospirillum brasilense on AGPase activity in the freshwater microalga Chlorella vulgaris and formation of starch. This was done by immobilizing both microorganisms in alginate beads, either replete with or deprived of nitrogen or phosphorus and a...
متن کاملEfficiency of Growth and Nutrient Uptake from Wastewater by Heterotrophic, Autotrophic, and Mixotrophic Cultivation of Chlorellavulgaris Immobilized with Azospirillumbrasilense1
Heterotrophic growth of microalgae presents significant economic advantages over the more common autotrophic cultivation. The efficiency of growth and nitrogen, phosphorus, and glucose uptake from synthetic wastewater was compared under heterotrophic, autotrophic, and mixotrophic regimes of Chlorella vulgaris Beij. immobilized in alginate beads, either alone or with the bacterium Azospirillum b...
متن کاملAdvanced Treatment of Meat Processing Wastewaters Using Microalgae
Introduction: Effluents of Meat processing are one of the untreated wastewaters containing high volumes of polluted components even after the primary and secondary treatments. The high cost of using the advanced treatment methods of the wastewaters has led the industry owners to release them in the nature without effective removal of nitrogen and phosphorus. In this study, an economic advanced ...
متن کاملCultivation of Microalgae Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. as a Potentional Biofuel Feedstock
The growth of two robust algae strains Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. growing in Lithuanian lakes was investigated with the aim to obtain optimum conditions for biomass cultivation for biofuel production in the Lithuanian environment. Samples were taken from different nitrogen sources and of different concentrations, with addition of various concentrations of CO2 and in the presence of salt....
متن کاملUse of Chlorella vulgaris microalgae in the treatment of dairy wastewater
Background and Objective: Nutrient-rich effluents (mainly nitrogen and phosphorus) may lead to algae blooms and many harmful effects in aquatic environments. Micro-algae have been more effective among the various methods used for the removing of nutrients from wastewater. Microalgae Chlorella vulgaris has specific characteristics such as rapid growth, resistant to systems manipulation, simple a...
