Abstract

The present study innovatively explores the impact of adding agricultural mixed plant hormones (gibberellin acid-indole-3-acetic acid-brassinolide, GIB) on simultaneously removing nutrients and antibiotics out of aquaculture wastewater within different four microalgae-bacteria-fungus symbionts. The results indicated that under the optimal symbiotic technology (Chlorella vulgaris+S395-2+Clonostachys rosea) and the best hormone GIB (20 mg L−1) addition, both growth characteristics and photosynthetic performance of microalgae-bacteria-fungus symbionts were optimal. Under optimal treatment conditions, the average nutrient removal efficiency (TN and TP) reached 93.71 ± 5.02 % and 93.56 ± 4.07 %, separately, whereas the average removal efficiency of antibiotics (oxytetracycline, ciprofloxacin and sulfadiazine) were 99.46 ± 0.17 %, 89.53 ± 5.41 %, and 85.68 ± 6.82 %, respectively. This study offers a promising new direction for algal treatment technology, particularly in the concurrent removal of antibiotics and nutrients.
