Popis: Spirulina maxima, a high protein blue-green alga, was grown in effluents from the municipal waste treatment plant. The protein content of the algal biomass tended to decrease at the later phase of batch culture while the fat and carbohydrate contents increased. The relative protein amino acid composition did not change and was comparable to that of the algae grown in synthetic medium.
