Resourceful treatment of cane sugar industry wastewater by Tribonema minus towards the production of valuable biomass

Tribonema minus was cultivated in different concentrations of sugarcane wastewater (SW) diluted with mBG-11 medium to produce biomass for biodiesel, bioproduct, and biomaterial production. The results showed that T. minus grew mixotrophically in 50%SW, with the highest biomass accumulation (7.86 g/L) and nutrient removal efficiency (84.85% of nitrogen, 62.57% of phosphorus, and 44.72% of COD). Excluding 100%SW, the chrysolaminarin and cellulose...
