Resumo

Microalgae and cyanobacteria, due to their high potential for lipid accumulation, are considered promising for biodiesel production. The joint cultivation of these microorganisms aims to optimize the use of nutrients and stimulate growth. However, biological, physical and chemical factors affect metabolism and nutrient storage, requiring improvements in cultivation methods. This study proposes the separate and joint cultivation of microalgae and cyanobacteria, using biodiesel effluent, such as washing water, as a culture medium. Despite this, preliminary results indicate low effectiveness due to sensitivity to contaminants present in the effluent. It is necessary to develop new methodologies to achieve better results.
