Entrapment of Micro-Algae in Modified Alginate Beads for Oxygen and Nutrient Source

Creator:

Hughson, Jason D.

Abstract:

Presented here is an investigation and comparison of two entrapment methods of algae. Conventional calcium alginate bead entrapment is compared to a recently described modified bead entrapment method, utilizing poly(ethylene glycol) and calcium alginate, which results in void or capillary formation within the beads. It is shown that algal growth...
