Growth Response of Scenedesmus and Chlorella to Elevated Sulfate Concentration

Key Points

• The research aims to understand how elevated sulfate concentrations and pH variations affect the growth and biochemical makeup of Scenedesmus and Chlorella.
• Simulated flue gas conditions
• Assessment of growth rates
• Analysis of biochemical composition
• Variation in pH levels
• Increased sulfate concentrations led to changes in growth rates of both microalgae
• Biochemical composition varied significantly under elevated sulfate
• pH variations impacted algal growth differently for both species
