Effect of hydrophobicity of magnetic artificial cilia (MAC) on microalgae growth. (a) Overview images of wells with a plain substrate, motile hydrophilic (plasma treated) MAC and motile hydrophobic (untreated) MAC during 12 days of culture, selectively showing from Day 4 when differences start to become apparent. (b) and (c) Microscopic images of samples with (b) hydrophilic MAC and (c) hydrophobic MAC on Day 8, respectively. The table shows cell counts from different samples using a Thoma counting chamber after 12 days of culture [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
