Flocculation Harvesting Techniques for Microalgae: A Review (2019, methodology): “Spontaneous aggregation of algal cells under specific conditions and the use of a self-flocculating microorganism can be considered as sustainable and environment-friendly [22,26].”
A review on co-cultivation of microalgae with filamentous fungi: Efficient harvesting, wastewater treatment and biofuel production (2021, neutral): “The explanation on the differences in practical efficiency is that some specific characteristics of microalgal cells are involved in the adhesion, such as shape, size, hydrophobicity and the biochemical composition of cell walls [61,62].”
Utilization of Volatile Fatty Acids from Microalgae for the Production of High Added Value Compounds (2017, background): “Under heterotrophic conditions, it is shown thatω-3 fatty acid concentration can be two or three orders of magnitude greater that those under autotrophic conditions [76].”
