We use alginate beads to preserve our microalgae stock for a long
period of time. Most researchers believe that it can last for at least 9
months, so its usage saves time and cost as we do not need to frequently subculture the stock. Preparing alginate beads is very simple - all that we need are sodium alginate, calcium chloride and glycerol. Below is our Nannochloropsis sp. encapsulated with sodium alginate:
