Biostimulation and Algal Growth Kinetics of Wastewater

An investigation was made of the biostimulatory characteristics and algal growth potential of wastewater effluents and surface runoff in Lake Tahoe. Specific parameters studied were the maximum growth rate and the maximum cell concentration for waters that have undergone various degress of treatment...

description An investigation was made of the biostimulatory characteristics and algal growth potential of wastewater effluents and surface runoff in Lake Tahoe. Specific parameters studied were the maximum growth rate and the maximum cell concentration for waters that have undergone various degress of treatment. Growth rates increased linearly with total nitrogen, and algal growth approached a maximum rate at an initial total phosphorus concentration of 50 μg/l. All types of wastewater effluents apparently are toxic to algal growth in the assay used, and deviations from the expected growth response predicted by nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations could be caused by the presence of toxicants. All effluents could be expected to increase the algal productivity of Lake Tahoe.
