A method is described for separating phototrophic microorganisms from an aqueous medium, comprising the steps of culturing the microorganisms, inducing the formation of at least one surface molecule by the microorganisms, adding magnetizable particles to the medium, and passing the medium through a magnetic field. Furthermore, a plant (1) for separating phototrophic microorganisms is described which has a photobioreactor (5), a magnetic separator (10) and a transport line (7). |
