Microalgae Granulation Correlation Between Microalgae Growth And Eps Content

Microalgae are often used in biological wastewater treatment as it can survive harsh condition aside from being a potential alternative resource for biofuel production. However, there are slight disadvantages to both applications as the algae culture are mostly low in density and small in size. T...
