AB - : This paper explores the ability of Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. to convert landfill
leachates into usable metabolites. Different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, and 10% v/v) of leachate coupled
with an inorganic carbon source (Na2CO3
, and NaHCO3
) were tested to improve biomass production,
metabolites synthesis, and removal of NO3 and PO4
. The result shows that both strains can effectively
grow in media with up to 5% (v/v) leachate, while significantly reducing the concentrations of NO3
,
and PO4
(80 and 50%, respectively). The addition of NaHCO3 as a carbon source improved the final
concentration of biomass, lipids, carbohydrates, and the removal of NO3 and PO4
in both strains.
