Due to insufficient N and P concentrations for successful algae growth, the effect of wastewater replenishment with NO3 , PO4 , and Na2CO3 or NaHCO3 as a carbon source was analyzed using a three-factor nonfactorial response surface design. The results showed that the addition of NaNO3 (0.125 g/L), K2HPO4 (0.075 g/L), KH2PO4 (0.75 g/L), and NaHCO3 (0.5 and 2 g/L for Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. respectively) significantly increased the biomass of Chlorella sp. (0.87 g/L) and Scenedesmus sp. (0.83 g/L). Although these results show that the addition of other nutrients is not necessary (Na, Mg, SO4 , Ca, etc.), it is still essential to determine the quality of the biomass produced in terms of its application as a feed supplement for fish production.", year = 2022, publisher = "Water", url = "https://repositorio.ufps.edu.co/handle/ufps/6567", }
