Poultry manure VFA enriched wastewater could enhance the microalgal growth and promote the accumulation of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids
The concentration of 20 g/L VFA was found to be the most productive PM extract with the highest biomass yield and nutrient augmentation
Microalgae cultivation in VFA rich PM extract has potential to be used for simultaneous waste nutrient removal and biomass production due to its capacity of efficient nutrient removal, coupled with its robust growth rate and productivity
Hence, the utilization of poultry manure wastewater as a low cost and sustainable resource for microalgal cultivation holds potential implications for the development of high value bioproducts, including animal feed supplements derived from microalgae
