Abstract

La présente invention concerne des cuves qui comprennent des sources de champ magnétique pour concentrer des nutriments utiles pour cultiver des micro-organismes. Les systèmes pour cultiver les micro-organismes comprennent des modules ayant différentes fonctions, telles qu'un module de biocollecteur et un module de magnéto-concentreur. La présente invention concerne en outre des procédés pour cultiver de la biomasse à l'aide de sources de champs magnétiques utilisées pour concentrer des nutriments.
