PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF EUGLENIDA BIOMASS FROM A CULTURE SYSTEM AND THE USE OF SAID BIOMASS

摘要

The invention is directed to a process for the recovery of Euglenida from a culture system. The recovery of Euglenida is of importance, because these microorganisms are capable of producing biomass that contains all kinds of useful and valuable compounds that can suitably be used for fuel and food and feed applications, such as for animal feed, fish feed, such as algae oil, proteins, etc. In the process according to the invention flocculation of the microorganisms is effected, followed by the collection or recovery of the flocculated microorganisms.
