Identification and Quantification of Suspended Algae and Bacteria Populations using Flow Cytometry: Applications for Algae Biofuel and Biochemical Growth Systems
Scientists from Canada developed a method to quantify the species distribution and overall growth o
f a mixed microbial community in suspension. The method developed was flow cytometric method which could be used to differentiate populations of three chlorophyta species, one diatom species, cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria according to their fluorescence and morphology.
The results showed that flow cytometric method could be best utilized to monitor algae biofuel and biochemical growth systems involving multiple species.
