The use of indigenous microalgae strains for locally generated domestic (DWW) and livestock wastewater (LWW) treatment is essential for effective and economical applications. Phototrophic microalgae-based biofuel production also contributes to carbon sequestration via CO₂ fixation. However, simultaneous consideration of both isolation and screening procedures for locally collected indigenous microalgae strains is not common in the literature. We aimed to isolate indigenous microalgae strains from locally collected samples on coastlines and islands in South Korea. Among five isolated strains, Chlorella sorokiniana JD1-1 was selected for DWW and LWW treatment due to its ability to grow in waste resources. This strain showed a higher specific growth rate in DWW than artificial growth medium (BG-11) with a range of 0.137–0.154 d⁻¹. During cultivation, 96.5%–97.1% of total nitrogen in DWW and 89.2% in LWW was removed. Over 99% of total phosphorus in DWW and 96.4% in LWW was also removed. Finally, isolated C. sorokiniana JD1-1 was able to fix CO₂ within a range of 0.0646–0.1043 g CO₂ L⁻¹ d⁻¹. These results support the domestic applications of carbon sequestration–efficient microalgae in the waste-to-energy nexus.
