微藻类细胞初期黏附实验研究进展

Biofuels from microalgae are one of the most promising renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. However, the microalgae cells are capable of forming biofims on the solid surfaces. And Its wall growth directly influences the efficiency of microalgal culture and harvest and the design of more effective photobioreactor for large scale microalgal cultivation. In this paper, we reviewed the experiment investigations on the microalgal adhesion to different substratum surfaces, including the method to measure the properties of microalgae cells and substratum surfaces, i.e., zeta potential, surface free energy and so on, the laboratory facilities to observe and determine the microalga adhesion phenomena, and the influences of different factors (the zeta potential, surface free energy, roughness) on the formation of microalgal adhesion.
