Bioconversion of nitrogen in the rice parboiling wastewater by incorporation in biomass of the cyanobacterium Aphanothece microscopica Nägeli

The cyanobacteria are able to effectively grow in wastewater due to their ability to utilize exogenic organic carbon sources and inorganic nutrients of the wastewater. Additionally, the biomass formed by the conversion of the pollutants have potential to be used as single-cell protein source. In thi...
