Harvesting sp. SW1 via Flocculation Using Chitosan: Effects of Flocculation Parameters on Flocculation Efficiency and Zeta Potential.

The use of chitosan as a flocculant has become a topic of interest over the years due to its positively charged polymer and biodegradable and non-toxic properties. However, most studies only focus on microalgae and wastewater treatment. This study provides crucial insight into the potential of using chitosan as an organic flocculant to harvest lipids and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA-rich sp.
