BACKGROUND Microalgae are a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms significant interest to the biotechnology industry, either as sustainable source natural compounds, or light-driven cell factories produce recombinant metabolites and proteins. Their ability utilise light, CO2, basic nutrients leads simple low-cost phototrophic cultivation process. This is particularly relevant low- midd...

Increasing energy demands and greenhouse gases emission from wastewater treatment processes prompted the investigation of alternatives capable to achieve effective treatment, materials recovery, reduce environmental footprint. Combination microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology with microalgal-based process in MFC-PBR (photobioreactor) systems could emissions facilities, capturing CO2 emitted indu...
