Popis: Microalgae are the important biofuel precursors and their economic cultivation can be boosted under mixotrophic (MT) conditions while employing different industrial wastewaters containing organic carbon. In the current research, the quantitative analysis of microalgal biomass production under MT and photoautotrophic (PT) cultivation conditions both at lab and pilot scales was studied. For the purpose, a pre-identified microalgal species Chlorella sorokiniana was cultivated mixotrophically and photoautotrophically at lab and pilot scales. Artificially prepared wastewater containing 2% (w/v) sugarcane molasses was used for MT cultivation. However, for PT cultivation, atmospheric CO
