Table 2 Volume productivity for carbon fixation (VPC) and product formation (VPGlycolate). VPC in biomass is calculated for ~ 4 days of the biomass phase and VPC in glycolate for ~ 6 days of the glycolate phase. The volume activities are calculated for one run and for one year assuming 30 cycles of 10 days each, which consist of ~ 4 days biomass phase and ~ 6 days of glycolate phase in each cycle

From: Carbon and energy balance of biotechnological glycolate production from microalgae in a pre-industrial scale flat panel photobioreactor
