Novel reactor developed for indoor, high-density production of diatoms

The development of this reactor for the indoor cultivation of non-suspended microalgae like important diatoms such as Amphora spp., and the cellular dry matter values produced in this study will help bio-filming science support the development and improvement of in situ feed supplementation for fish and shrimp ponds, particularly in desert environments.
