| Description | Microalgae are a good option for the advanced treatment of wastewater due to their capability to uptake nutrients from the medium. Nitrogen is usually found as ammonium and nitrate in wastewater, while phosphorous is in the form of orthophosphates. In an algal–bacterial consortium, microalgae produce oxygen which is consumed by bacteria while bacteria produce $CO_{2}$ which is used by microalgae; therefore both the partners can promote the productivity of each other and subsequently improve the removal efficiency of nitrate, phosphate and organic carbon. Microalgae may hinder bacterial growth by raising the pH level, temperature, and dissolved oxygen in the consortium. Microalgae may enhance the growth of bacteria by secreting extracellular materials in the form of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. An algae–bacteria consortium was successfully used for the removal of nitrogen from agro, food, starch and olive industries wastewater. Algae and bacteria can have either a positive or negative association. Book Name: Algae and Sustainable Technologies |
