Abstract:Cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) accumulated during microalgal cultivation have significant application potential in antioxidation, pharmaceutical products, and so on. Inoculation concentration strongly affects the cultivation cost, biomass, and EPS accumulation. In this study, a high‐EPS‐excreted desert cyanobacterium Microcoleus vaginatus was isolated, and the effects of inoculation concentration on biomass, photosynthetic activity, and EPS accumulation were explored. The results showed that the origi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
