Co-encapsulation of Daphnia magna and microalgae in silica matrices, a stepping stone toward a portable microcosm
We report on the first silica encapsulation of a metazoan (Daphnia magna), with a high initial viability (96% of the population remained active 48 h after encapsulation). Moreover, the co-encapsulation of this crustacean and microalgae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) was achieved, creating inside...
