The data includes raw files for plotting and methods for analyzing the data, as well as high-throughput reports.

Raw data of chemical and microbiological data from raceway and bubble column monitoring campaign

This file contains all the experimental data obtained related with the manuscript "Polyhydroxybutyrate and glycogen production in photobioreactors inoculated with wastewater borne cyanobacteria monocultures". The file is divided in different spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are grouped in colours depending at which photobioreactor they correspond to. Orange correspond to Synechocystis sp. results, purple to Synechococcus sp results and blue to mixed culture. Each reactor has three spread sheets where the results corresponding to the concentrations of different forms of carbon, nutrients and the total suspended solids can be found. Finally, there is a general spreadsheet with the PHB and Glycogen results from all PBRs.

The application of pressure filtration in microalgae harvesting requires chemical treatment in order to reduce membrane fouling and increase water flux. Surfactant has shown potential to enhance microalgae dewaterability by releasing extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). In this study, the effect of three surfactants including anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), non-ionic triton X-100 and cationic cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) on dewaterability of Chlamydomonas sp. was investigated. Filtration fluxes and biomass concentrations were used to evaluate the microalgae dewaterability. Based on the results, SDS and Triton X-100 had negative effect on the dewaterability of microalgae biomass. However, CTAB improved the dewaterability by decreasing negative charge of microalgae biomass. The optimum dosage of CTAB was found to be 1500 mg/L, resulted in 95.8% and 140% improvement on average water flux and biomass concentration, respectively.

Measurements inside the differents photobioreactor

Recent discoveries show that sulphide oxidising bacteria (SOB) from modern desulphurisation plants are able to spatially separate sulphide removal and oxygen reduction when exposed to intermittent anaerobic and aerobic environments. Here, SOB act as electron shuttles between electron donor and acceptor. The underlying mechanisms for electron shuttling are of yet unknown. To investigate the anaerobic sulphide removal of SOB, batch experiments were performed. SOB harvested from a desulphurisation plant in Wageningen were harvested and made anaerobic in batch bottles. After dosing sulphide, sulphide was measured for 30 minutes.The full methodology is described in the material and methods section of the related publication. For Appendix A the method is described in the supplementary information of the related publication.The dataset consists of one excel file with several sheets, containing sulphide measurements and NGS data.
