An Integrated Approach of Using Polystyrene Foam as an Attachment System for Growth of Mixed Culture of Cyanobacteria with Concomitant Treatment of Copper Mine Waste Water

<table>Development of an attachment system for the growth of mixed Cyanobacterial culture incubated at 26–30°C and 16/8 h photoperiod  in a culture room under 3000 lux from cool white light. (a) Schematic representation of attachment system, (b) Cyanobacteria growing in the attachment system, (c) development of Cyanobacterial mat on the surface of polystyrene foam, (d) recovery of Cyanobacterial biomass by scrapping, and (e) reuse of attachment system for another cycle of growth.</table>
