Effect	Temperature gradient	Geometric mean particle size (μm ± geometric SD)
Rotation (24 rev/min)	4–22 °C/24 h	1.4 ± 1.7
No rotation	4–22 °C/24 h	4.7 ± 10.5
Temperature gradient	4–22 °C/48, 72 h	36 ± 2.9
No rotation	4–22 °C/48, 72 h	36 ± 2.9
Inverted temperature gradient	50–22 °C/24 h	1.3 ± 0.5
No rotation	50–22 °C/24 h	1.3 ± 0.5
