  • ULTRASOUND AND ACOUSTOPHORESIS FOR COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF OLEAGINOUS MICROORGANISMS
    Publication number: 20170137775
    Abstract: Microorganisms such as micro algae are collected and separated from a host medium such as water. Cellular walls and membranes of the microorganisms are then ruptured to release their lipids using a lipid extraction unit. Thereafter, the lipids from the host medium are collected and separated using a lipid collection and separation unit. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
