Integration of algae cultivation as biodiesel production feedstock with municipal wastewater treatment: Strains screening and significance evaluation of environmental factors

► Integration of algae based biodiesel production and wastewater treatment. ► All tested 14 algae strains were able to grow on centrate wastewater stream. ► Top-performing strains were capable of mixotrophic growth on centrate. ► Environmental factors had significant effect on biomass and biodiesel production. ► Environmental factors had important effect on wastewater nutrient removal by algae.
