Abstract: In this paper we have experimentally analysed the utilization of three types of cultured microbial algae for the reduction of nutrients from combined industrial and muncipal wastewater. The microbial algae used where chlorella vulgaris (walnes medium), synechocytis salina (allen medium) and gloeocapsagelatinosa (nelson medium). after the contact period of 5, 10, 15 and 20 days, reduction of nitrates, nitrites were observed significantly
