In this study, immobilized Scenedesmus obliquus (S. obliquus) was proposed to simultaneously alleviate the carbon dioxide (CO2) and ammonium (NH4+-N). Two trophic modes of autotrophy and mixotrophy were conducted by batch experiments with a period of 5 days. The results shown that NH4+-N could be removed more efficiently if algal cells were immobilized, and the trophic mode change had no significant effect on immobilized S. obliquus to NH4+-N removal under 5% CO2 sparging. Specifically, immobilized S. obliquus could remove NH4+-N completely at initial concentrations of 30 and 50 mg/L and reached about 80% removal rate of NH4+-N at the concentration of 70 mg/L under both trophic modes. The protein synthesis was its main removal mechanism and the dominant amino acid components including glutamic acid (Glu), cystine (Cys), arginine (Arg), methionine (Met) and lysine (Lys) were sensitive to NH4+-N assimilation.
