Answer 1

Flocs................

Answer 2

Masses of bacteria associate with fungal filaments to form mesh-like structures called flocs.

Microalgae do not settle by gravity. So expensive harvesting techniques have to be applied. This bottleneck of microalgal technology can be overcome by bioflocculation of microalgae and bacteria. Microalgal Bacterial flocs settle by gravity up to density of 20g per litre. This is an important improvement in microalgal technology used for wastewater treatment.
