The 1-L airlift PBR (a) and the morphological changes (b and c) of H. pluvialis cells for an initial biomass concentration \({\mathrm{C}}_{{\mathrm{x}}_{0}}\) of 0.21 kg m−3 under nitrogen starvation and PFD of 250 µmol m−2 s−1 at day 1 (b) and day 10 (c) of culture. The damaged or bleaching cells are indicated by arrows. Scale bar: 200 µm
