Flocculation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with Different Phenotypic Traits by Metal Cations and High pH
Concentrating algal cells by flocculation as a prelude to centrifugation could significantly reduce the energy and cost of harvesting the algae. However, how variation in phenotypic traits such as cell surface features, cell size and motility alter the efficiency of metal cation and pH-induced flocc...
