TL;DR: This alum based P removal process was very effective at sequestering the P forms that most readily stimulate algal growth, and the final BAP of the effluent was only ≈ 50% of the "reactive" P concentration.

TL;DR: For many of the compounds tested, the algal cell yield was only 60-80% of expected relative to DON uptake, which helps explain why some DON compounds are more likely to persist in natural systems, and why the DON pool is often recalcitrant in surface waters.

TL;DR: The comparison of bioavailable nitrogen (BAN) quantification protocols showed that the dissolved nitrogen uptake bioassay approach was clearly a more reliable way to determine BAN concentrations compared to the conventional cell yield protocol.

TL;DR: This study suggested that the current Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) model could be easily modified with the updated mineralization kinetics, which should lead to both ecological and economic benefits.
