Chlorella vulgaris cold preservation as a means to stabilize biomass for bioreactor inoculation: A six-month study

Researchers at Université Paris-Saclay explored efficient methods to preserve Chlorella vulgaris cells over six months with minimal maintenance. Their findings demonstrated that storing cells at 4C provided a stable, repeatable inoculum while reducing the need for frequent subculturing, compared to traditional maintenance methods. This approach allows for consistent experimental results and simplifies cell preservation in biotechnological applications. The research emphasizes the potential of low-temperature storage to streamline lab processes and reduce variability in microalgal studies.
