Source data for the publication: Enhancement of microalgae growth using magnetic artificial cilia

This data set contains the source data of the publication: Verburg, T. H. C. M., Schaap, A. M., Zhang, S., den Toonder, J. M. J., & Wang, Y. (2021). Enhancement of microalgae growth using magnetic artificial cilia. Biotechnology and Bioengineering. https://doi.org/10.1002/bit.27756. In this study, we fabricated magnetic artificial cilia (MAC) and implemented them in millimeter scale culture wells and conducted growth experiments with Scenedesmus subspicatus while actuating the MAC in a rotating magnetic field to create flow and mixing. In addition, surface of MAC was made hydrophilic using plasma treatment and its effect on growth was compared with untreated, hydrophobic MAC. The experiments showed that the growth was enhanced by ten and two times with hydrophobic and hydrophilic MAC, respectively, compared with control groups which contain no MAC. The data are experimentally obtained with methods described in the publication.

本数据集包含下述学术论文的源数据：Verburg, T. H. C. M.、Schaap, A. M.、Zhang, S.、den Toonder, J. M. J.与Wang, Y.于2021年发表于《生物技术与生物工程（Biotechnology and Bioengineering）》的论文《利用磁性人工纤毛促进微藻生长》，DOI链接为https://doi.org/10.1002/bit.27756。本研究制备了磁性人工纤毛（magnetic artificial cilia，MAC），将其应用于毫米级培养孔中，以细小栅藻（Scenedesmus subspicatus）开展生长实验，同时通过旋转磁场驱动MAC以产生流动与混合效果。此外，本研究通过等离子体处理使MAC表面实现亲水化，并将亲水性MAC与未处理的疏水性MAC对藻类生长的影响进行对比。实验结果表明，与不含MAC的对照组相比，疏水性与亲水性MAC分别使藻类生长提升10倍与2倍。本数据集的实验数据均按照该论文中所述的实验方法获取。
