Note: The values in parentheses indicate the light flux (μmol·m−2·s−1) and the time (days) for each photobioreactor. The prefixes ‘B’, ‘V’, ‘A’, ‘C’, and ‘SR’ identify experiments performed with white (B), red (V), and blue (A) LEDs; controls (C); and experiments performed with blue light on the response surface (SR). The negative values indicate an increase in the pollutant concentration.
