| Popis: | Tobacco wastewater is too difficult to decontaminate which poses a significant environmental problem due to the harmful and toxic components. Chlorella pyrenoidosa is a typical microalgal species with potential in removal of organic/inorganic pollutants and proves to be an ideal algal-based system for wastewater treatment. However, the strategy of tobacco related wastewater treatment using microalgae is in urgent need of development. In this study, C. pyrenoidosa was used to evaluate the removal efficiency of artificial tobacco wastewater. Under various solid-to-liquid (g/L) ratios, 1:1 ratio and acidic pH 5.0 were optimal for C. pyrenoidosa to grow with high performance of removal capacity to toxic pollutants (such as COD, NH3-N, nicotine, nitrosamines and heavy metals) with the alleviation of oxidative damage. Algal biomass could reach up to 540.24 mg/L. Furthermore, carbon flux of C. pyrenoidosa was reallocated from carbohydrate and protein biosynthesis to lipogenesis with a high lipid content of 268.60 mg/L at pH 5.0. Overall, this study demonstrates an efficient and sustainable strategy for tobacco wastewater treatment at acidic pH with the production of valuable microalgal products, which provides a promising biorefinery strategy for microalgal-based wastewater bioremediation. |
