Utilization of microalgae for bioremediation of wastewaters with the concomitant production of bio-products is a recurrent subject found with increasing presence in the current scientific literature. Much of the investigative focus and research approach reported so far, give credit to the wastewater engineering roots of this research topic. Nevertheless, given the more recent increased intensity in microalgae investigations, that research is rapidly expanding to integrate wastewater engineering with multiple disciplines including cell biology and phycology research protocols among others. We present herein a keyword based analysis of trends and directions as gleaned from the body of scientific publications at the intersection of wastewater treatment and algal cultivation with a focus on the identification of past and current trends, possibly indicative of future directions.
