2.5. Analyses
Biomass was estimated on every day during BGP and LIP based
on optical density (OD, 650 nm). Chlorophyll quantification was
performed by taking 2 ml of algal cells followed by concentration
and disruption using sonication (20 kHz) for 7 min and extracted
with 2 ml of 90% acetone. The extract was centrifuged at 3000g
(5 min) and OD of the supernatant was measured to quantify
