Summary: The study demonstrates that pig slurry can be used as an effective nutrient source for biomass production of Scenedesmus almeriensis, with a biomass productivity rate comparable to standard growth medium. Different dilutions of pig slurry did not significantly affect microalgal growth, while ozonation was effective in reducing the chemical oxygen demand concentration of the media.

Summary: The present study aimed to evaluate the use of microalga Scenedesmus almeriensis for treating untreated urban wastewater. Two 12 m(3) raceway reactors, one supplemented with wastewater and the other with chemical fertilizer, were operated outdoors in a semi-continuous mode for eight months. The results showed that S. almeriensis could be produced in wastewater without affecting the photosynthetic apparatus, with an average productivity of 13 g center dot m(-2)center dot day(-1) in both systems. Moreover, the nutrient content of the wastewater, including nitrogen, phosphorous, and chemical oxygen demand, was reduced to meet European limitations, with average removal rates of 2.2, 0.2, and 3.0 g center dot m(-2)center dot day(-1) respectively. The raceway reactors demonstrated high potential for microalgal production and efficient biotreatment, proving to be robust and reliable. Additionally, an accurate model was developed to evaluate the effect of environmental conditions on biomass productivity in the clean system (R-2 = 0.9, p = 0.0002).

Summary: This study assessed the potential of plastic covers to prevent or minimize water evaporation in open photobioreactors. The results showed that although covering the reactors reduced biomass productivity, it also significantly reduced water evaporation in different seasons. The use of inexpensive commercial plastics as covers can greatly decrease the water requirements of the system.

Summary: PEF treatment successfully promoted lipid extraction from Scenedesmus almeriensis, but only in combination with a polar:neutral co-solvent (ethanol:hexane). However, in cascade processing, untreated biomass displayed equal lipid yields due to the disruptive effect of the proteolytic enzymes. Therefore, the positive impact of PEF in this scheme is limited to the improved reaction kinetics exhibited during the enzymatic hydrolysis step.

Summary: Reducing dependence on fishmeal is a major challenge for sustainable aquaculture, and insects are one of the most promising alternatives. This study found that yellow mealworm is the best alternative for rainbow trout, possibly due to changes in protein utilization and intestinal histology.

Summary: Photo-respirometric techniques are used to evaluate photosynthetic activity in phototrophic organisms. This study examined the impact of nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate availability on the photosynthesis and respiration of Scenedesmus almeriensis, finding both increasing until saturation and then diminishing, with inhibition at high concentrations. Various equations were used to model the data and determine nutrient yield coefficients, showing that nitrogen and phosphorous coefficients are not constant and can be affected by nutrient concentrations, including luxury uptake phenomena.

Summary: The study found that Chlorella meal can be a potential alternative to fishmeal in rainbow trout feed. Diets based on Chlorella meal improved growth performance, intestinal health, and had effects on amino acid and fatty acid metabolism. However, diets combining Chlorella meal with black soldier fly larval meal did not improve growth performance but had anti-inflammatory effects and improved bacterial diversity.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance of Scenedesmus sp. UKM9 in removing COD and nutrients from anaerobic POME under different photoperiods and pollutant loading rates. Results found highest removal rates of COD and NH4+ under a 12h:12h photoperiod, while PO43- removal was highest under a 16h:8h photoperiod. The findings suggest that Scenedesmus sp. UKM9 is a promising bioremediation agent for treating POME.

Summary: The gas-permeable membrane (GPM) technology is an environmentally sustainable wastewater treatment option that can reduce ammonia emissions and recover nitrogen as nutrient. Compared to conventional manure management, it reduces global warming and marine eutrophication, but increases particulate matter formation and terrestrial acidification. Optimizing membrane design parameters further decreases these impacts but may increase freshwater eutrophication.
