Synthetic mutualism between microalgae and plant growth promoting bacteria for tertiary waste water treatment
International Conference and Expo on Water Microbiology & Novel Technologies
July 18-19, 2016 Chicago, USA

Keynote: J Microb Biochem Technol
Abstract:
An unusual combination of microalgae and bacteria was developed and tested for waste water treatment, using agricultural plant growth-promoting bacteria to enhance the growth and nutrient-removing capacity of microalgae. The underlying hypothesis assumes that, by creating an artificial stable association inside polymeric spheres, the bacteria enhance the performance of unicellular microalgae to absorb more contaminants from the waste water. This presentation focuses on our current studies of removing nitrogen and phosphorus from contaminated water. This includes performance of the synthetic mutualism system that combines microalgae with bacteria to clean contaminated water in medium-scale autotrophic and heterotrophic bioreactors, mechanical and physiological interactions between water-treating agents (microalgae and bacteria), natural microbial populations of contaminated water and effect of additives to further enhance the removal of pollutants, all without creating secondary pollution by the treatment.
