Fig. 7: Organics removal mechanisms by MBGS process.
The genetically regulated breakdown of starch, glycerol, and fatty acid by algae and bacteria into CO2, which then enters the Calvin cycle for biomass synthesis. Notes: Blue dotted box indicates the upregulated process, the blue ellipse indicates the upregulated functional gene, and red upward arrow indicates microorganism with up-regulated expression. Green box indicates bacteria that have a cooperative relationship with Chlorophyceae, while blue box indicates bacteria that have a cooperative relationship with Cyanobacteria.
