Abstract

Microalgae play an effective role in the bioremediation of poultry waste. The current research is designed to study the cultivation of Scenedesmus incrassatulus on poultry waste effluent to improve the biochemical composition of microalgal growth. Scenedesmus incrassatulus was isolated, identified, and was assessed for growth performance, carbohydrate, and lipid contents on Bold’s Basal medium Various concentrations of poultry waste ranging from 10 to 100 % were tested on Scenedesmus incrassatulus growth. The highest concentrations of poultry waste effluent prohibited the growth of microalgal culture, whereas the lowest concentration of 10 % enhanced the microalgal lipid content (26.73a±.74% DW), carbohydrate content (15.75a±.16 %),and induced a marginal increase in dry biomass (.191a ±.009 gL-1).Accordingly, the practical application of microalgal growth offers prospective resource utilization
