Abstract
Abstract Botryococcus braunii is a renowned source of biomass, lipids and hydrocarbons for biofuel production. However, this microalga also produces exopolysaccharides (EPS) which might be used industrially. The artificial immobilization of B. braunii has proven to influence its growth and metabolite yield. In this work, B. braunii was immobilized using 3 g/L of polyester wadding, a recyclable material no reported before as fixing matrix for this microalga. This inexpensive polymer was non-toxic to the cells and allowed their fixing during 2 months. After 24 days, the final biomass yield (g/L) was statistically higher (P
