In Italy, watermelon cultivation spans 9510 hectares, with production levels largely influenced by seasonal market demand. As a result, surplus left unsold September often remain in the fields, where they decompose naturally and go to waste. A chemical analysis of liquid fraction waste (WW) indicates high carbohydrate concentration, highlighting potential for biotechnological valorization this stream, converting it into lipids or exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This study investigates feasibility utilizing WW as an alternative growth substrate microalgae, aligning circular economy principles advancing sustainable agricultural practices. By repurposing byproducts, research supports biorefinery objectives, aiming convert biomass high-value secondary products, including biofuels, pigments, nutraceuticals. Scenedesmus Chlorella strains demonstrated promising adaptability WW, achieving yields 0.95 ± 0.07 g L−1 0.37 0.02 L−1, respectively, significant EPS observed medium gelation. Although lipid accumulation was limited case substrate, profiles both were distinctively altered, notably lacking linolenic acid.

Abstract In the quest for sustainable environmental solutions, marine microalgae emerge as powerful allies in bioremediation and biomass valorization endeavors. This review navigates through various facets of utilization, starting with isolation, screening, identification techniques, which lay foundation understanding strain diversity capabilities. Delving deeper, mechanisms performed by are elucidated, showcasing natural capacity to cleanse polluted environments via biosorption, bioaccumulation, biodegradation. Furthermore, waste-to-worth is explored, comprehensive discussions on conversions into biofuels, bioplastics, high-value products, animal feed. As one way forward, emerging advancements genetic engineering enhance pollutant removal capacities presented alongside development consortia integrated waste treatment processes. multidimensional approach highlights ultimate potential valorization, laying groundwork a future achieved working nature, hand-in-hand.

Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus sp. are commonly used in wastewater treatment due to their fast growth rates ability tolerate a range of environmental conditions. This study explored the cultivation using from food industry, particularly Italian basil pesto production tanks. The experiment involved different carbon dioxide concentrations light conditions with dilution rate at 1:2. Both microalgae strains were able grow on wastewater, biomass characterization highlighted influence CO2 supply irradiation. highest lipid storage was 79.3 ± 11.4 mg gdry biomass−1 75.5 13.3 for C.
