"Enhancing biomass and lipid yield of microalga Scenedesmus obliquus by" by Zhongqi He, Wenbiao Jin et al.
Nowadays, the disposal of municipal wastewater by microalgae while extracting microalgal high-value by-products has become an emerging trend. In this research, direct current electrochemical treatment was used to improve microalgae biomass production and wastewater treatment effect simultaneously. After electrochemical treatment, the cell number, biomass, chlorophyll-a content and lipid content of Scenedesmus obliquus cultivated in BG11 medium were significantly increased respectively by 13.1%, 32%, 9.7% and 30.1% at the 1.0 A/m2 direct current density. When Scenedesmus obliquus was cultured i...
