The valorization of saline concentrate and brackish water is a key strategy for the sustainable management of water resources, particularly in semi-arid regions. Cultivating microalgae in these effluents mitigates environmental impacts and enables high-value biomass production, offering potential for the generation of bioproducts and added benefits for regional agricultural systems. This study aimed to optimize biomass production and characterize the microalga Chlorolobion braunii using a combin
