Mechanism behind microalgal self-flocculation

ABSTRACT: Self-flocculation driven by gravity has shown as promising microalgal harvesting technology due to no requirement for additives and energies. However, the inherent unclear mechanism impedes its efficiency enhancement and commercial application. Current researches most only focus on the protein and carbohydrate content in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), while further in-depth investigation is required on the detailed information of EPS components and their roles in self-flocculation.
