An alternative source for producing biofuel in present scenario
helps in reducing environmental impact across the globe.
Facilitating photosynthetic process of harnessing CO2 for its
growth and storing as energy source for biofuel production,
compared to other microbes such as bacteria and fungi, establish
algae as sustainable products for biofuel production [1].
Also, bio-energy production based on photosynthesis requiresless water for cultivation of microalgae compared to other
sources [2–4]. However, cultivating microalgae in freshwater
for biodiesel production at large scale is still a challenging part
as there is an increase in demand for freshwater for various
purposes. The ideology of cultivating microalgae in wastewater
is to reduce the growth media components for cultivation and
also it helps in cleaning up (i.e., nutrient removal) the wastewater
