The ammonia and phosphorus removal efficiencies of the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus dimorphus, during biotreatment of secondary effluent from an agroindustrial wastewater of a dairy industry and pig farming, were evaluated. The microalgae were isolated from a wastewater stabilization pond near Santafé de Bogota, Colombia. Batch cultures were made using both species in 4-l cylin...

Photosynthetic unicellular organisms are considered as promising alternative protein sources. The aim of this study is to understand the extent to which these green sources differ with respect to their gross composition and how these differences affect the final protein isolate. Using mild isolation techniques, proteins were extracted and isolated from four different unicellular sources (Arthro...

Makeup water constitutes a key component in the management of microalgal cultivation systems. However, effect makeup addition on growth remains largely unexplored. This study compared two deionized intervals (1 day and 4 days) for their Scenedesmus dimorphus (S. hereafter) 2000 mL Pyrex bottles under controlled conditions. Cell counts dry algal biomass (DAB) were measured to characterize rate. ...

Obesity is a major public health problem in developing countries and significant risk factor for metabolic disorders. Microalgae Scenedesmus dimorphus (S. dimorphus) contains bioactive compounds such as pigment function antioxidants, omega-3 omega-6 PUFAs have potential nutraceuticals. The study aimed to evaluate the lipid profile liver after administration of S. obese mice. research design use...
