Immobilization Method to Separate Microalgae Biomass for Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Production

An immobilization method for simplified separation of cultured cells and their products from the growth media was developed. The growth rates of both immobilized and free cells of the microalga Chlorella vulgaris were compared. The free and immobilized cells reached nearly identical cell densities....
