A continuous flow filtration system was designed to identify and quantify the removal mechanisms of Cyanobacteria (Microcystis aeruginosa) by hydroponic biofilters Phalaris arundinacea compared synthetic filters. The units were continuously fed under plug-flow conditions with Microcystis grown in photobioreactors. cells decreased at two rates studied (1.2 ± 0.2 54 ± 3 cm3 minˉ1) results suggest...
