Microalgae cultivation by uncoupled nutrient supply in sequencing batch reactor (SBR) integrated with olive mill wastewater treatment

The growth of bacteria contaminants can be controlled in heterotrophic microalgae cultures by using an uncoupled supply of glucose and nitrate. However, till now this strategy was only described for fed-batch cultivation. The cultivation in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) could be more promising for the industrial scale. Here in this work, we tested the uncoupled supply of substrates on microalgae cultivated in SBR (feast/famine ratio = 1.33),...
