5. Conclusions
Independent EM bioremediation, MA phytoremediation and symbiotic MAeEM bioremediation mode for the removal of ammonia and phosphorus were elucidated successfully in this study. Inoculation of EM-1 in the MA phytoremediation enhance the symbiotic MAeEM culture condition in term of dissolved oxygen
and pH regulation. Higher removal rates were observed in various inoculation of MA in the symbiotic MAeEM bioremediation with the addition of EM. In addition, the release of phosphorus due to the degradation of bioremediators at the end of treatment period was suspended within the symbiotic MAeEM bioremediation mode. Symbiotic MAeEM bioremediation however were insignificant as compared to MA phytoremediation mode in term of the ammonia removal curve and reduction rate.
