In order to examine the effect of allelochemical EMA on the absorption of nitrogen and phosphorus by Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorella pyrenoidosa in eutrophic water, Algae were constantly cultured by BG-11 medium with different concentration of allelochemical. The experimental results showed that lower concentrations (0.1mg/L) of EMA have a growth-promoting effect on Chlorella. vulgaris , but no obvious effect with higher concentrations. However, EMA has a significant inhibitory effect on Chlorella. pyrenoidosa . EMA can also promote the absorption of ammonia nitrogen by two algae. After nine days experiment, The highest ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency occurred in the 1.1 mg/L concentration of EMA, Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorella Pyrenoidosa removal efficiency were 71.89% and 79.06% respectively. High concentration of EMA can inhibit the absorption and utilization of total nitrogen and total phosphorus by two algae. The best removal efficiency of TN were 45.44% (0.1mg/L EMA) and 58.80% (0.1mg/L EMA) respectively. The best removal efficiency of TP were 95.06% (0 mg/L EMA) and 99.70% (0.3mg/L EMA) respectively.
