“The harvesting procedure is one of the more expensive parts of microalgal production, typically accounting for 20–30% of the overall cost [131,132].”
From Challenges in Functional Food Products with the Incorporation of Some Microalgae (2024) · cites this paper as [132]
In the citing paper
“Currently, 90% of the cost of obtaining microalgal biomass from open ponds is attributable to energy-intensive harvesting techniques such as flotation, centrifugation, filtration, and electricity-based techniques [132,133].”

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.
