  1. 1. Temperature Optimum for Biomass Production of two Species of Benthic Diatoms

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Vilmer Jansson; [2023-06-22]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Diatoms and other algae can be cultivated and beneficially used in several sectors with applications ranging from nutrient recycling to production of high-valued biomaterials used by the green energy industries, in pharmaceutical products or as food supplements. In this experimental study, the temperature optimum for biomass production was tested for two species of benthic diatoms, Diatoma sp. READ MORE
