“…We measured the densities of G. smaydae and Heterocapsa rotundata as prey in a 100-L semi-continuous cultivation system under no aeration and continuous aeration conditions daily for 9 days. Furthermore, to determine optimal harvest conditions through centrifugation, we examined the harvesting efficiency and dry weights of fatty acids in G. smaydae + H. rotundata cells at different rotational speeds and at different flow rates of the pump frequently predominant in plankton assemblages (Jeong et al 2021, Kang et al 2023, and they produce useful biological materials including fatty acids, amino acids, functional pigments, antioxidants, and toxins (Hwang and Lu 2000, Jang et al 2017, Lim et al 2018, Wang et al 2022, Buchheim et al 2023. Therefore, marine microalgae have potential applications with regard to bioenergy resources, animal feed, human foods, health supplements, and pharmaceuticals (Atalah et al 2007, Fuentes-Grünewald et al 2009, Manirafasha et al 2016, Lim et al 2018.…”
