Four commercial microalgae strains of Chlorella vulgaris, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Scenedesmus dimorphus and Neochloris oleoabundans, and a local strain of Chlamydomonas debaryana were studied in this research. It’s found that S. dimorphus and N. oleoabundans were unable to grow on the swine wastewater. The optimal culture conditions for C. vulgaris and C. reinhardtii were found to be (600 μ mol m-2s-1 and 25°C) and (300 μ mol m-2s-1 and 20°C), respectively. The growth kinetics was determined using Optical Density (OD) method and flow cytometry. Under the optimal culture conditions, the highest specific growth rates were found to be 1.336 day-1 and 1.286 day-1 for C. vulgaris and C. reinhardtii, respectively. The removal efficiency of nutrients from the wastewater is a function of microalgae growth. When comparing a local C. debaryana strain with these two commer.. View More»
