Biogas production from sewage sludge and microalgae co-digestion under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions

Isochrysis galbana and Selenastrum capricornutum, marine and freshwater microalgae species respectively, were co-digested with sewage sludge under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions. The substrates and the temperatures significantly influenced biogas production.
