Entrapment of Chlorella vulgaris cells within graphene oxide layers

Confinement of microalgae cells within layers of graphene oxide (GO) effectively reduces the rate of cell division, with the microalgal wrapping being more efficient in a vortex fluidic device than using mild sonication, as determined by the cell growth and the level of nitrate removal from the liqu...

Summary:Confinement of microalgae cells within layers of graphene oxide (GO) effectively reduces the rate of cell division, with the microalgal wrapping being more efficient in a vortex fluidic device than using mild sonication, as determined by the cell growth and the level of nitrate removal from the liquid effluent. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
