The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Growth, nutrient uptake and chemical composition of Chlorella sp. and Nannochloropsis oculata under nitrogen starvation (2016, unknown): “The chemical composition of the culture medium and the input of carbon in the experimental flasks are two of the main factors that influence the growth of microalgae in cultures (Wood et al., 2005).”
Paralytic shellfish toxins or spirolides? The role of environmental and genetic factors in toxin production of the Alexandrium ostenfeldii complex (2013, methodology): “Growth rates, k, defined as doublings per day, were calculated based on the longest period of exponential growth, using the equation k = log2(Nt/N0)/Dt, where N = cell number and t = time (Wood et al., 2005).”
Chloroidium, a common terrestrial coccoid green alga previously assigned to Chlorella (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta) (2010, background): “The underlying assumption is that significant differences in the acclimated growth rate of different taxa must have a genetic basis if all sources of environmental variation are eliminated (Wood et al., 2005).”
