Outline of Final Research Achievements

Growth performances of E. gracilis and L. sativa co-cultured using a biogas digestate were investigated. This solution simulated the filtrate of nitrified biogas digestate derived from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste but was supplemented with insufficient plant nutrients (Mg, Fe and Mn). The specific growth rate of the co-cultured E. gracilis was the same rate that E. gracilis achieved when grown as a sole culture. There were no significant differences between L. sativa cultured with E. gracilis until the stationary growth phase of E. gracilis was reached and those cultured alone relative to biomass. These results suggest that E. gracilis and L. sativa could be co-cultured with the biogas digestate after being nitrified and filtered. In addition, considering concentrations of plant macronutrients in the residual solution after the co-culturing E. gracilis and L. sativa, it could be re-used as the nutrient solution for co-culturing E. gracilis and L. sativa.
