Abstract This project proposes to evaluate the use of vinasse originating from aerobic treatment as a cultivation medium for the growth of the microalgae Neochloris oleoabundans in order to achieve a greater quantity of biomass for industrial uses. Furthermore, contribute to the development of wastewater treatment alternatives through the cultivation of photosynthetic microorganisms as a depolluting measure.
