Abstract

Vessels that include magnetic field sources for concentrating nutrients useful for growing microorganisms are provided. Systems for growing the microorganisms include modules with various functions, such as a bioharvester module and a magneto-concentrator module. Methods for growing biomass with the aid of magnetic fields sources used to concentrate nutrients are also provided.
