Phycoremediation potential of Tetradesmus sp. SVMIICT4 in treating dairy wastewater using Flat-Panel photobioreactor
2022
Ravi Kiran, Boda | Venkata Mohan, S.
Tetradesmus sp. SVMIICT4 was isolated and cultivated mixotrophically in a flat-panel photobioreactor (FP-PBR) for concurrent dairy wastewater treatment, carbon fixation, and biomass production. Integrated wastewater treatment showed good COD and nutrients removal efficiency accounting for biomass with an accumulation of carbohydrate (21.48 mg g⁻¹) and protein (19.52 mg g⁻¹). Chlorophyll a fluorescence transients (Fv/Fm, ETo/RC, TRo/RC, and Abs/RC) deduced through OJIP curve fittings, showed consistent improvement in photosynthetic activity throughout the cultivation period. The absorption flux per reaction centre corroborated with increased chlorophyll content (18.94 mg g⁻¹), resulting in higher electron transport (ET/Rc) and lower non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). The fatty acid profile showed high content of unsaturated, followed by saturated fatty acids, which has multiple applications in food, feed, and fuel industries, enabling a bio-based economy.
