- A native microalgae of Chlamydomonas debaryana was isolated, screened for its lipid content using flow cytometry, and identified with sequence analysis.
- When using the swine wastewater as medium, the biomass yields were between 0.6 and 1.62 g/L, giving a median value of 1.11 g/L.
- The removal efficiency of COD, ammonia, and phosphorous were 42-60%, 95-99%, and 32-50%,
- Lipid content is 19.9±4.3%, and the transesterified microalgal oil mainly consists of fourteen kinds of fatty acids ranging from C5 to C22.
