ABSTRACT
Since the removal of contaminations in microalgal cultures is extremely laborious and time-consuming, we developed a rapid workflow to obtain axenicity by a combination of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and plate spreading. During method development, several cyanobacteria and green algae strains were successfully made axenic. At the end, method transferability to another FACS device was demonstrated. Our workflow offers great time-savings with less hands-on laboratory work compared to conventional isolation techniques.
