TABLE 2.
Characterization of nanoalgosomes obtained from a fresh culture (R0) and after 1, 2 and 3 recycling (R1, R2, and R3, respectively). D z : z-averaged hydrodynamic diameter; PDI: polydispersity index; R ex /biomass: excess Rayleigh ratio, measured by DLS, over dry biomass; N P (NTA): Particle number, measured by NTA, over dry biomass; c p (BCA): Protein mass, measured by BCA assay, over dry biomass.
| Samples | D z | PDI | R ex /biomass | N P (NTA) | c p (BCA) |

| R0 | 85 ± 5 | 0.50 | 21.00 ± 0.01 | 5,500 ± 300 | 375 ± 4 |
| R1 | 85 ± 5 | 0.55 | 17.70 ± 0.01 | 5,500 ± 700 | 383 ± 8 |
| R2 | 100 ± 5 | 0.60 | 19.10 ± 0.01 | 5,400 ± 300 | 425 ± 7 |
| R3 | 90 ± 5 | 0.45 | 15.55 ± 0.02 | 11 ,400 ± 500 | 435 ± 4 |
