The Unified Field Studies (UFS), established by the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3), produced data on the effect of environmental and process conditions on algal growth rates and algal composition. The goal of the third Unified Field Study (UFS-3), performed June to September 2014, was to generate a robust inter-testbed dataset in algal biomass and lipid productivity and yield for two different algal strains (Nannochloropsis oceanica KA32 and Chlorella vulgaris LRB-AZ-1201) as a function of different regional, and environmental conditions among sites by controlling non-geographical-related variables including production systems, production process and protocols, system scale, and algae strain. In UFS-3 we compared the effect on productivity of three harvests per week with multiple dilution rates vs. one harvest per week with one dilution rate using both algal strains.
