Inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus are is particularly difficult
to remove from wastewater. Due to the ability of microalgae to
use both wastewater pollutions for their growth, microalgae are
particularly useful to reduce the concentration of inorganic nitrogen
and phosphorus in wastewater (Ahluwalia and Goyal, 2007).
Many species of microalgae are able to effectively grow in wastewater
conditions through their ability to utilize abundant inorganic
nitrogen and phosphorus in the wastewater. Therefore, the
mass culture of microalgae can be potentially used for wastewater
treatment as a tertiary process
