Influence of wavelength photoperiods and N/P ratio on wastewater treatment with microalgae–bacteria

This research investigates the effect of mixing wavelength light photoperiods (12 h blue, 8 h blue: 4 h green, 4 h blue: 8 h green, and 12 h green) and N/P ratios (1.3 to 8.3) on the growth microalgae–bacteria systems, organic matter, and nutrient removals. The highest microalgae–bacteria growth per...
