Abstract
Abstract
The co-pelletization of microalgae with filamentous fungi was a promising approach for microalgae harvest. However, the real conditions of microalgae growth limited the arbitrary optimization of co-pellets formation with filamentous fungi. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an approach to manipulate the co-pelletization through treatment of A. niger spores. In this study, Aspergillus niger and Chlorella vulgaris were used as the model species of filamentous fungi and microalgae to investigate co-pellets formation using A. niger spores after by different pH solutions treatment, swelling, snailase treatment. The importance of spore treatments on C. vulgaris harvest in sequence was claimed based on response surface methodology analysis. The pH solutions treatment, swelling, snailase treatment of A. niger spore contributed 21.0%, 10.5%, 40.7% of harvest ratio of C. vulgaris respectively, which guided the application of spore treatment into co-pelletization. Treatment of spore was showed as an efficient approach to manipulate co-pelletization for microalgae harvest in diverse microalgae condition. This results promoted the application of co-pelletization technology in microalgae harvest of various conditions.
