Figure 2. Growth curves monitored in 96 well plates by OD₇₅₀ in a plate reader (effective path length ∼0.2 cm) at different initial cell densities.

(a) Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in TAP at initial cell concentration of 10⁶ cells/mL (○) and at initial cell concentration of 2.5×10⁵ cells/mL (•). (b) Chlorella vulgaris in TAP at initial cell concentration of 10⁶ cells/mL (□) and at initial cell concentration of 2.5×10⁵ cells/mL (▪). Error bars are SEM (n = 3).
