Abstract
A method for separating an organic component from a mixture containing the organic component, water, and a microorganism, the method comprising (a) subjecting the mixture to a first separation step under mild conditions in order to generate a first stream containing water and organic component, and a second stream containing water and microorganism; and (b) subjecting the first stream to a second separation step under conditions which result in separation of the organic component from the water. The method allows for the organic component to be separated from the water under relatively severe conditions, due to the prior removal of the microorganism, and thus makes it possible to recycle the undamaged microorganism. The organic component may comprise a microbial oil which is suitable for use as, or conversion to, a biofuel.
