Using
bioremediation, in order to break down the pollutants of water systems, is a
low cost and ecological friendly approach. Different types of algae are being
used in bioremediation processes especially in contaminated waters. Algal
species have the ability to use most of the pollutants as food source. Thus,
they are desirable organisms for bioremediation process. Studying the
bioremediation efficiency levels of different algal species for different types
of contaminants is crucial for increasing the effectiveness of this method. In
this study , three different algal species were used for the bioremediation
process of the water samples, collected in 2015 from Gediz River. In laboratory
conditions the removal efficiency of these three algae for various parameters,
such as nitrate, nitrite, phosphate and ammonium, were measured. According to
the results, the removal efficiency levels for (a) Chlorella sp., measured as PO₄^3- > NO₃^-
> NO₂^- > NH₃^-, were
84.47 %, 83.41 %, 6.22 %, 1.79 %, (b) Scenedesmus
sp., measured as NO₃^- > NO₂^-
> NH₃^- >PO₄^3- , were 97.33 %,
92.92 %, 72.08 %, 56.91 %, and (c) Oscillatoria
sp., measured as NH₃^- > NO₃^- >
PO₄^3- > NO₂^- ,  were 90.08 %, 86.76 %, 83.21 %, 0.28 %
respectively.
