Light-Dependent Nitrate Removal Capacity of Green Microalgae.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, Chlamydomonas sp. MACC-216 was used to investigate total nitrate removal in TAP medium with sodium nitrate as the sole nitrogen source under several light conditions made up of permuted combinations of three light colors (referred to as blue, red, and white light) and three light intensities (50 µmol m^-2 s^-1, 100 µmol m^-2 s^-1, and 250 µmol m^-2 s^-1). It was observed that nitrate removal efficiency is influenced by light color as well as light intensity. Additionally, Chlamydomonas sp. MACC-216 was cultivated in synthetic wastewater under four light conditions, namely, Blue 250, Blue 125 + Red 125, Red 250, and White 250, where it showed the highest nitrate removal efficiency and nitrate red
