| Description | This paper explores the ability of Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. to convert landfill leachates into usable metabolites. Different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, and 10% v/v) of leachate coupled with an inorganic carbon source $(Na_{2}CO_{3}$, and $NaHCO_{3}$) were tested to improve biomass production, metabolites synthesis, and removal of $NO_{3}$ and $PO_{4}$. The result shows that both strains can effectively grow in media with up to 5% (v/v) leachate, while significantly reducing the concentrations of $NO_{3}$, and $PO_{4}$ (80 and 50%, respectively). The addition of $NaHCO_{3}$ as a carbon source improved the final concentration of biomass, lipids, carbohydrates, and the removal of $NO_{3}$ and $PO_{4}$ in both strains. |
