Bisphenol A (BPA), which is employed for the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate (PC) plastics, is utilized in various food and drink packaging, baby bottles and dental sealants.1) BPA is a strong endocrine disruptor and also leads to carcinogenesis.2) Microalgae and marine diatoms have been reported for the remediation of BPA, but relatively few studies have reported the utilization of freshwater microalgae to remove BPA. This study aims to investigate (1) the screening of BPA tolerant algal strains; (2) microalgal bioaccumulation/biodegradation of BPA; and (3) the effect of BPA concentration on nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorous) removal and carbohydrate and fatty acid production by microalgae. |
