Synergistic effects and optimization of nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations on the growth and nutrient uptake of a freshwater Chlorella vulgaris by Alketife, Ahmed M.

“…The synergistic effects and optimization of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations on the growth of Chlorella vulgaris (CCAP 211/11B, CS-42) and nutrient removal have been investigated under different concentrations of N (0 56 mg/L) and P (0 19 mg/L). The study showed that N/P ratio has a crucial effect on the biomass growth and nutrient removal. …”
