Algal single cell protein production from sewage effluent with high salinity.
Laboratory studies indicate that the unicellular green alga Chlorella salina CU-1 could be cultivated in treated sewage effluent with high salinity. The high protein content (51% dry weight), and the relatively complete amino acid profile of the cells, suggest that this alga might be an ideal organism to be used for single cell protein production from high-salinity sewage.
