Abstract

Transparent liquid marbles are becoming a research hotspot in recent time. The high transmission of light and large surface-area-to-volume ratio make transparent liquid marble the perfect candidate for microalgae culturing. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time the use of fume silica-coated liquid marble as the culturing platform for the growth of Chlorella vulgaris with a remarkable improvement in the culture yield compared to a conventional culture flask, with a significantly higher growth rate and a 30-time increase in the maximum cell density.
