Abstract | ||||
The possible utilization of whey by some marine cyanobacteria for growth and waste management was studied. The results indicated that both sweet and salt whey could be used as a culturing media for all the tested strains. Also, it was found that nitrogenase activities increased when such strains were grown in any of whey types. Among the tested strains, Nostoc sp. proved to be the most promising one for better bioremoval of whey as one of the major during industrial wastes. | ||||
