Project description
A missing link in the current algae production is the reuse of the culture medium. This doctoral study covers the development of a method to rejuvenate the culture medium so it can be reused for algae production. This will generate knowledge and insight so that developed techniques can be used to realize medium recycling in other than the studied algae systems.
