Photosynthetic performance of algal-bacterial biofilms from an Italian wastewater treatment
plant was studied in a flow-lane photobioreactor at different irradiances, temperatures, and
flow regime to evaluate the effects of these environmental parameters on biofilms'
functioning, in view of application of these communities in wastewater biological treatment.
Pulse amplitude modulated fluorescence was used to estimate the effective quantum yield of
PSII (ΔF/Fm') of the light-acclimated biofilms and to perform rapid light curves (RLCs) for the …
