Summary
Researchers reviewed how combining microalgae and bacteria in wastewater treatment can simultaneously remove contaminants and produce valuable outputs including biodiesel, bioethanol, biohydrogen, and animal feed. This dual-purpose biological approach offers a more sustainable alternative to conventional wastewater treatment by turning waste nutrients into useful products rather than simply eliminating them.
Abstract Traditional wastewater treatment has been aimed solely at sanitation by removing contaminants, yet actual issues of climate change and depletion of natural resources are calling for methods that both remove contaminants and convert waste into chemicals and fuels. In particular, biological treatments with synergic coupling of microalgae and bacteria appear promising to remove organic, inorganic, and pathogen contaminants and to generate biofuels. Here, we review the use of algae and bacteria in the treatment and valorization of wastewater with focus on cell-to-cell adhesion, wastewater properties, and techniques for algae harvesting and production of biodiesel, bioethanol, biohydrogen, exopolysaccarides, biofertilizers, and animal feeds.
