Growth and photosynthetic activities of acclimated cyanobacteria in sewage effluents

Abstract:
Various types of cyanobacteria were isolated from sewage of Kuwait. The growth and photosynthesis of these acclimated cyanobacteria on sterilized sewage effluents were studied. Primary treated effluent was found to support the growth of the cyanobacteria more than treated effluent. This indicated the possible tolerance of such cyanobacteria to more organic pollution in comparison with unacclimated cyanobacteria. The results explain in part the possible hazards of dumping sewage effluents into the sea or the possible uses of such cyanobacteria in mass culture as an animal food.
