Adaptive Algal Cultivation Enabled by a Monthly Biomass Forecasting System
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.The developed monthly algal forecasting system used to predict biomass production for two algal strains (A and B) at two pond water depths (low and high). The highest predicted production, achieved with strain A at a low pond water depth, is selected as the cultivation strategy to guide the next month's algal growth.
