Abstract Cyanobacteria are considered to be promising host organisms perform whole-cell biotransformations and for the sustainable production of value-added compounds. However, their commercial applications, scalable photobioreactors that allow high cell density cultivation, stable long-term catalytic performance, product formation necessary. Cyanobacterial biofilms in capillary reactors presen...

Microalgae-based wastewater treatment has been suggested as an alternative to polluting and energy-consuming conventional processes. The main advantage of this strategy is the dual role microalgae: they recover nutrients from waste simultaneously produce biomass with varied industrial applications. In current study, Scenedesmus sp. was produced using primary in two pilot-scale thin-layer cascad...

One of the most critical variables in microalgae-related processes is pH; it directly determines overall performance production system especially when coupling with wastewater treatment. In treatment processes, adequacy pH has a large impact on microalgae/bacteria consortium already developing these systems. For cost-saving reasons, usually controlled by classical On/Off control algorithms duri...
