Synergistic effects of soybean oligosaccharides and Chlorella pyrenoidosa on water quality and microbial community structure in biofloc system
Summary
Researchers investigated the synergistic effects of soybean oligosaccharides and Chlorella pyrenoidosa on water quality and microbial community structure in a biofloc aquaculture system, testing multiple treatment combinations to evaluate their potential for improving effluent management.
Abstract This study explored the synergistic effects of soybean oligosaccharides (SBOS) and Chlorella pyrenoidosa on water quality and microbial community structure of aquaculture effluent in a biofloc system. Five experimental treatments were designed including CON group (control, no treatment), GLU group (glucose), SBOS group (2.5% SBOS and 97.5% glucose), CP group (glucose and Chlorella pyrenoidosa), and CS group (2.5% SBOS, 97.5% glucose and Chlorella pyrenoidosa). Chlorella pyrenoidosa were included at a concentration of 5.37×10⁵ cells/mL for selected treatments. Each treatment had 5 replicates, and C/N ratio was 15. Over the nine-day experimental period, combination of SBOS and Chlorella pyrenoidosa demonstrated significant synergistic effects on water quality improvement and biofloc formation (P < 0.05). Specifically, in CS group, nitrate concentrations were significantly reduced on day 1, nitrite nitrogen concentrations exhibited a marked reduction on day 5, and both nitrite and total nitrogen concentrations showed significant reductions on day 7 compared to GLU group (P < 0.05). Biofloc volume (FV) in CS group showed a significant increase on day 3 compared to both CON and GLU groups (P < 0.05). Turbidity (NTU) was significantly lower in all experimental groups compared to CON group (P < 0.05). Compared with other experimental groups, the abundance of Aeromonasaceae decreased significantly, and Bacillus and Mycobacteria increased significantly in CS group, which contributed to the enhanced nitrogen cycling and degradation of organic matter degradation pathway (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that SBOS and Chlorella pyrenoidosa exhibit synergistic effects in treatment of effluent in biofloc system, and efficiently remove nitrogen and optimize microbial community structure.

Impact of Natural Microorganisms on the Removal of COD and the Cells Activity of the Chlorella sp. in Wastewater
This is not a microplastics study; it examines how adding natural microorganisms to a Chlorella algae system maintains algal cell activity and improves chemical oxygen demand removal in wastewater treatment.
The utilization of exopolysaccharide (EPS) from microalgae Chlorella vulgaris in microplastic removal
Researchers investigated whether exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Chlorella vulgaris microalgae can facilitate the removal of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics from aquatic systems, while also examining microplastic effects on algal growth. The study demonstrates that EPS functions as a bioflocculant capable of binding microplastics, with implications for biologically-based water treatment.
Biofloc Application Using Aquaponics and Vertical Aquaculture Technology in Aquaculture: Review
This review examines biofloc technology as a sustainable aquaculture approach that uses microbial communities to improve water quality and reduce disease spread without requiring water exchange. Researchers discuss how integrating biofloc with aquaponics and vertical aquaculture systems can further enhance production efficiency. The study notes that while biofloc technology offers environmental benefits over traditional aquaculture, challenges like water quality fluctuations and microplastic contamination need to be addressed.
Biofloc Microbiome With Bioremediation and Health Benefits
Researchers reviewed the biofloc system, an aquaculture technology in which heterotrophic microbial communities form aggregates that naturally treat water and serve as a supplemental food source for farmed aquatic animals. The microbial communities in biofloc systems help maintain water quality by consuming nutrient waste while also boosting the growth, immunity, and disease resistance of the host organisms. The review highlights biofloc technology as a sustainable, cost-effective approach to aquaculture that reduces the need for water exchange and artificial feeding.
