  abstract = {{T}he {C}hlorophyta {P}icocystis sp. isolated from a {T}unisian household sewage pond appears promising for effective removal of {B}isphenol {A} ({BPA}). {E}fficient and cost-effective technology for contaminants remediation relies on a tradeoff between several parameters such as removal efficiency, microorganism growth, and its tolerance to contaminant toxicity. {T}his article demonstrates the optimum conditions achieving the highest removal rates and the minimal growth inhibition in batch cultures of {P}icocystis using response surface methodology. {A} central composite face-centered ({CCF}) design was used to determine the effects on removal and growth inhibition of four operating parameters: temperature, inoculum cell density, light intensity, and initial {BPA} concentration. {R}esults showed that the maximal {BPA} removal was 91.36%, reached the optimal culture conditions of 30.7 degrees {C}, 25 x 10(5) cells ml(-1) inoculum density, 80.6 mu mol photons m(-2) s(-1) light intensity, and initial {BPA} concentration of 10 mg l(-1). {V}arious substrate inhibition models were used to fit the experimental data, and robustness analysis highlighted the {T}essier model as more efficient to account for the interaction between {P}icocystis and {BPA} and predict removal efficiency. {T}hese results revealed how {P}icocystis respond to {BPA} contamination and suggest that optimization of experimental conditions can be effectively used to maximize {BPA} removal in the treatment process.},
