Microalgae cultivation is mostly done in very diluted biomass concentrations, from 0.2 to 2 g l−1, to avoid large dark zones in the cultivation systems, which leads to low productivities.
“Microalgae cultivation is mostly done in very diluted biomass concentrations, from 0.2 to 2 g l−1, to avoid large dark zones in the cultivation systems, which leads to low productivities (Bilad et al., 2014; de Vree et al., 2016).”
From Perspectives of fluorescence spectroscopy for online monitoring in microalgae industry (2022) · cites this paper as de Vree et al., 2016
The indexed Abstract reports experiments at concentrations including 0.25 and 2.0 g L−1 and says higher concentrations produced a steeper light gradient. It does not establish that microalgae are mostly cultivated at 0.2–2 g L−1 to avoid dark zones, or that dilution leads to low productivity; in some reactors, the highest tested concentrations instead reduced productivity. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMicroalgae have higher areal productivity and higher biomass production rates than plant crops.
“When comparing microalgae to plant crops, they present several advantages: they have higher areal productivity and higher biomass production rates, they can grow in diverse and inhospitable environments, they do not compete for land, and some species can grow in seawater (Zeng et al., 2011; de Vree et al., 2016).”
From Perspectives of fluorescence spectroscopy for online monitoring in microalgae industry (2022) · cites this paper as de Vree et al., 2016
The indexed Abstract passage contains keywords for areal productivity and biomass concentration, but no comparison with plant crops. Searches for the claimed higher productivity and biomass production rates, including searches for plant crops, found no passage addressing that comparison. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
