Fig. 7

Algal attached growth on materials with various mesh openings. a Biomass yield per surface area of attachment materials and b biomass productivity (biomass yield divided by 7 days) per surface area of attachment. Cells were incubated using a RAB system for 7 days for initial attachment (i.e., the first growth/harvest cycle), and then repeatedly harvested and re-grown for another five cycles at 7 days/cycle with a total of 35 days attached growth. The figure in the parenthesis is the mesh opening size, mm. The attached growth data are the average of five consecutive cycles and the errors show the standard deviations
