Abstract

A lab-scale study of Scenedesmus obliquus: Acinetobacter pittii (S. obliquus: A. pitti) partnership cultured in synthetic domestic wastewater was conducted to evaluate the partnership performance for growth and removal of nutrients from wastewater. To draw out the functional dependencies of this partnership measured the ammonia-nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N), ortho-phosphate (PO₄^3--P), soluble total phosphorus (TP), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and have got the nutrient removal rate of 85.90%, 91.50%, 73.75% and 100% respectively. The results showed that their optimized partnership ratio is 2:1 for S. obliquus: A. pitti and, CO₂ & O₂ exchanges in between was the more crucial parameters to shifting the best nutrient removals performance and promoted biomass quantity.

Keywords: Algae-bacteria partnership; CO(2) & O(2) exchange; Low-aeration; Nutrients removal; Wastewater.
