- Abstract
- This study examined the feasibility of using non-sterilized swine wastewater for lipid production by an isolated microalga,Scenedesmus rubescens. Different dilution ratios using municipal wastewater as a diluent were tested to determine the suitable levels of microalgal growth in the wastewaters, its nutrient removal, and its lipid production. The highest lipid productivity (8.37 mg/L/d) and NH(4)(+)removal (76.49%) were achieved in swine wastewater that had been diluted to 30 times using municipal wastewater. Various bacteria coexisted in the wastewaters during the cultivation ofS. rubescens. These results suggest the practical feasibility of a system to produce lipids from swine wastewater by using microalgae.
