Simultaneous Promotion of Microalgal CO2 Assimilation, Biomass Accumulation, Lipid Production, and Wastewater Nutrient Removal by Adding 5-Aminolevulinic Acid
Abstract:Microalgae-based wastewater management has the potential
to serve
dual purposes, including biofuel production and wastewater bioremediation.
The current study investigates the role of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)
in the regulation of photosynthesis, biomass accumulation, lipid production,
and nutrient removal from wastewater by Chlorella pyrenoidosa. In wastewaters, a 3 μM concentration of 5-ALA was considered
optimal, as it increased the photosynthetic light reaction and CO2 assimilation of C. pyrenoidosa ce… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
