Annotation	This study is focused on harvesting of Chlorella vulgaris, well known phototrophic single-celled microalga with wide range of use in nutrition, health care, cosmetics and potential in biofuels production. Due to low harvesting densities of phototrophic microalgae (in case of Chlorella vulgaris they are usually in range 0.5-5 g/L) is harvesting one of the most expensive parts of the Chlorella biomass production. It was estimated that harvesting costs make up approximately 40 % of the biomass production costs. The aim of this study is to evaluate a new pre-harvesting method for reducing the cost of Chlorella harvesting in large scale.
