OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Sterile test conditions: yes. components of the medium were either autoclaved or sterile filtered.

- Light intensity and quality: The lighting was continuous with an intensity of 90.2 µE m-
² s-1 ± 6.3 % (required: 60 – 120 µE m-² s-1).
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
- Determination of cell concentrations: The algal biomass was monitored by measuring the chlorophyll fluorescence after 0 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. To convert the measured surrogate parameter chlorophyll fluorescence into cell concentration (the measure for biomass), a correlation factor is determined twice a year within the quality check by measuring cell concentrations of different dilutions with the Coulter Counter and the corresponding fluorescence with the microplate fluorescence reader. Chlorophyll fluorescence values are correlated with measured cell concentrations. The slope of the curve gives the conversion factor. By means of the conversion factor, the surrogate parameter chlorophyll fluorescence is converted into cell concentration
- Chlorophyll measurement: see above
