Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of culturing a floating aquatic species, the method including introducing the aquatic species into a receptacle having (a) a culture medium, (b) at least one raceway configured to allow the culture medium to flow in a continuous loop, and (c) a sufficient quantity of the culture medium to flow in the continuous loop; cultivating the aquatic species to generate a floating mat on a top surface of the culture medium; generating a fluid current of sufficient force to propel the floating mat on the top surface of the culture medium; and varying a velocity of the fluid current in a controlled manner to maintain a relatively uniform distribution of the floating mat on the top surface of the culture medium.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to methods and systems for purifying proteins, carbohydrate rich products, and polysaccharide products from a microcrop (e.g., photosynthetic aquatic species) and compositions thereof. For example, the present disclosure relates, in some embodiments to methods and systems for extracting proteins, dry biocrude, carbohydrate-rich meal, and polysaccharide products from Lemna.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to apparatuses, methods, and systems for cultivating a microcrop involving a floating coupling device. More specifically, the present disclosure relates, in some embodiments to apparatuses and methods for cultivating Lemna for extracting proteins and/or carbohydrate rich products. In some embodiments, a bioreactor system for culturing a microcrop may comprise: a bioreactor container configured to contain the aquatic species in sufficient growth medium to permit normal growth of the microcrop, at least one coupling device comprising a star, and a propulsion mechanism configured to apply sufficient force to the at least one coupling device to cause motion thereof.
