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
Figure 3
Chlorophyll a and carotenoid content 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) Chlorophyll a and (b) Carotenoid content of mixed Cyanobacterial culture in both attachment and suspended systems in presence of BG-11 growth medium and in presence of different concentrations of copper mine waste water. (A) represents attachment system and (S) represents suspended system, respectively. Values are represented as mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments.
