        abstract = {Destruction of our surroundings, which affects the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the soil we live on, has been and still is mostly caused by industrial pollution. The rapid rise in industrialization cultivation of Spirulina sp. in wastewater systems is useful in densely populated nations like India, where a lot of garbage is produced and causes environmental issues. Spirulina species were cultivated on a large scale using the secondary effluent from a domestic wastewater treatment plant. Spirulina sp. can effectively reduce the BOD and COD of high-carbon wastewater, primarily due to its mixotropic nature, which enables it to utilize both organic and inorganic carbon present in the effluent. Spirulina sp. grown on domestic wastewater different concentrations produced better growth of DO and Chlorophyll. TDS and EC reduction of dissolved substances by Spirulina during growth. Spirulina removes heavy metals such as copper and chromium from domestic wastewater. Phosphate and phenol are reduced in treated wastewater. Protein and carbohydrates are rich in wastewater.},
