Microalgae-associated bacteria play a key role in the flocculation of Chlorella vulgaris
Abstract
Flocculation is most preferred method for harvesting microalgae, however, the role of bacteria in microalgal flocculation process is still unknown. This study proves that bacteria play a profound role in flocculating by increasing the floc size resulting in sedimentation of microalgae. A flocculating activity of 94% was achieved with xenic Chlorella vulgaris culture as compared to 2% achieved with axenic culture. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of 16S rRNA gene of xenic C. vulgaris culture revealed the presence of Flavobacterium sp., Terrimonas sp., Sphingobacterium sp., Rhizobium sp. and Hyphomonas sp. as microalgae-associated bacteria. However when Flavobacterium, Terrimonas, Sphingobacterium were eliminated by fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS), flocculating activity reduced to 3%. Further studies with cell free extracts also suggest that bacterial extracellular substances might also have a role in enhancing flocculation. We conclude that the collective presence of certain bacteria is the determining factor in flocculation of C. vulgaris.

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.
