TL;DR: All the areas where knowledge is scarce and value can be added to increase dry anaerobic digestion performance and expansion are highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, a review explores the use of microalgae for nutrient removal in municipal wastewater treatment, considering recent improvements in the understanding of removal mechanisms and developments of both suspended and non-suspended systems.

TL;DR: This work investigated the effect of four pre-treatments on three microalgae species, and their impact on the quantity of soluble biomass released in the media and thus on the digestion process yields, and enzymatic hydrolysis showed the greatest biogas yield increments.

TL;DR: This work evaluates a freshwater species remediation characteristics through analysis of internal biomass N:P (nitrogen:phosphorus) and presents a relationship between composition and nutrient uptake ability to assist in species selection.

TL;DR: Changes in operational conditions can be used to influence microbial community structure for anaerobic digestion (AD) optimisation, and shorter recovery times and increased resilience of digesters were linked to higher numbers of Clostridia incertae sedis XV, suggesting that this group may be a good candidate for AD bioaugmentation to speed up recovery after process instability or OLR increase.
