BIOCHEMICAL AND PIGMENT ANALYSIS ON PHYCOREMEDIATED MICROALGAL BIOMASS

Textile dye industrial effluents contain highly concentrated CO2 and Nitrogen in it, which causes severe harmful effects to human and to the environment. The reduction of Physiochemical parameters were seen from before and after treated effluents.

Biochemical analysis from the microalgae biomass reveals that Scenedesmus obliquus, Chlorella vulgaris and its consortium have shown high amount of Protein and Lipid in ascending order. Microalgae pigments such as chlorophyll a, b and â-carotene were determined and â-carotene found high amount than chlorophyll from all the treated biomass as expected but high than normal grown media. Scenedesmus obliquus is found to be the highest producer of â-carotene.
