Algae belonging to the genus Chlamydomonas have a cosmopolitan distribution and many of them have the ability to adapt to extreme environmental conditions. These may even be found in ponds containing wastewater of domestic and industrial origin, which may have high nutrient levels as well as concentrations of organic and inorganic contaminants. In this work we report for the first time in Costa Rica the presence of a green algae species, Chlamydomonas vesterbottnica, located in ponds of a treatment plant receiving leachate from Los Mangos landfill in Alajuela. The presence of this alga arouses special interest for possible biotechnological applications with wastewater from treatment plants.
