Final fresh weight to dry weight ratio of C. parriaudii, C. coelothrix, and S. varians, grown for 14 days (100 rpm, 24 °C, light intensity of 30–40 μmol photons m−2 s−1, 18:6 h L/D photoperiod), periodically harvested, and dewatered following the methods: beaker (B), beaker + reticulated spinner (B+RS), beaker + filter paper (B+FP), beaker + reticulated spinner + filter paper (B+RS+FP), beaker + cavity microscope slide (B+MS), perforated crucible + reticulated spinner (PC+RS), and perforated crucible (PC). More detailed descriptions on each method can be found in Table 1 (n = 3, error bars denote 1 SD)
