The developed microbial granules containing photosynthetic pigments had successfully achieved approximately 18–21% of carbon dioxide (CO2) removal in POME for one complete SBR cycle. Also, the granules had reached CO2 removal at 15–29% within 24 h and removal of 25% after 5 days. Both results were i...
