  • Methods for the production of diatom biomass
    Patent number: 10377983
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods of producing a diatom biomass. More particularly, the invention relates to methods to produce a diatom biomass using a continuous culture to produce a volumetric production rate of biomass of at least 20 g dry weight/L/day, wherein the culture medium is designed to provide the essential nutrients to maintain the diatom in log phase growth. In a preferred cmbodimcnt the biomass comprises highly unsaturated fatty acid.
