Conceptual picture of the underlying structures responsible for the rheological behaviour of slurries of Nannochloropsis sp. cells in relation to solids concentrations and processing. Green discs represent algae cells. Dashed lines indicate weakened cell walls resulting from incubation. Black particles represent particulate intracellular constituents such as proteins that are partially and completely released during incubation and homogenisation. Dashed arcs represent cell wall debris. Green shading represents other intracellular components
