Chlorella vulgaris

Characteristics of Chlorella vulgaris:
* Rich in nutrients : Contains high levels of proteins, vitamins, minerals and fiber.
* High photosynthesis capacity : This allows it to grow and reproduce quickly under suitable conditions.
* CO2 absorption : It can absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, contributing to the mitigation of climate change.

Reasons why it is good for bioremediation:
* Absorption of pollutants : Chlorella vulgaris has the ability to absorb and accumulate heavy metals and other toxic substances from its environment, making it useful for cleaning contaminated water.
* Tolerance to high concentrations of contaminants : It can survive and maintain its photosynthetic capacity in the presence of high concentrations of contaminants, making it especially valuable for the bioremediation of highly contaminated sites.
*Renewable biomass production : The biomass produced by Chlorella vulgaris can be used to produce biofuels, foods, and nutritional supplements, which adds additional value to the bioremediation process.
* Reduction of excess nutrients : It is effective in reducing excess nutrients, such as nitrates and phosphates, from wastewater and industrial effluents, preventing eutrophication of water bodies.
* Versatility : It can be grown in closed systems (photobioreactors) or in open environments, allowing its application in a wide range of conditions and bioremediation contexts.

Thanks to these properties, Chlorella vulgaris is considered one of the most promising microalgae for bioremediation, being able to significantly contribute to the purification of contaminated waters while producing valuable resources.
