Inhibitory effect of BHA on the fungal infection. A Infection process was inhibited by the addition of BHA at various concentrations. Microscopic images showed the untreated and 12 ppm BHA-treated cell cultures on the 3rd day post-infection, respectively. B Dry weight of H. pluvialis cell culture in the 100 L open raceway pond was rescued by applying 7 ppm BHA every 2 days. Control, the uninfected and untreated cell culture. Fungal infection, the infected  and untreated cell culture. 7 ppm every 2 days, the infected cell culture treated with 7 ppm BHA every 2 days. Scale bar, 20 μm
