  abstract = {{T}his study assesses the growth and the recovery ability of the {C}hlorophyta {P}icocystis sp., cultivated in wastewater supplemented by a model mixture of emerging contaminants ({EMC}s). {T}he mixture of {EMC}s consisted of three pharmaceuticals, diclofenac ({DCF}), sulfadiazine ({SDA}), and oxytetracycline ({OTC}), and the plastics precursor bisphenol {A} ({BPA}). {C}ontinuous cultures were carried out for 27 days in a set of four columns of photobioreactors connected in series to investigate the daily {EMC}s and nutrient recovery. {P}icocystis was able to grow in contaminated wastewater with daily biomass productivity of 0.5 +/- 0.05 g {L}-1 d-1. {P}icocystis exhibited high daily {EMC}s removal efficiencies reaching 100 %, 83-92 %, 93-95 %, and 66-70 % of 1 mg {L}-1 initial concentration of {OTC}, {DCF}, {BPA}, and {SDA}, respectively. {B}esides, {P}icocystis showed daily nutrient recovery rates of 40 % for nitrogen and total organic carbon and 27 % for phosphorus.{T}hese results pointed to the promising application of {P}icocystis in a continuous bioremediation system for the removal of emerging contaminants and nutrients from wastewaters.},
