ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF THE INTERACTIONS AMONG THREE PROCESSING VARIABLES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF EXOPOLYSACCHARIDES IN THE MICROALGAE <I>Scenedesmus obliquus</I> (UTEX 393)

Microalgae are capable of producing biomolecules that have a wide variety of applications in agriculture, food industry, and medicine. In this study, three process variables are evaluated in order to determine its incidence on biomass and exopolysaccharides production. The effect of light intensity,...
