Sedimentation index of L. indica under normal gravity: after cultivation under simulated microgravity condition (RPM 72 h and RPM 96 h) or normal gravity condition (control). The sedimentation index is a measure used to quantify the rate at which particles settle out of a suspension over time. It is calculated using absorbance measurements taken at different time intervals, more precisely by dividing the difference between the initial absorbance (measured at time zero) and the absorbance at a given time point by the initial absorbance. Each time point corresponds to the average of the data collected from 4 biological replicates, with the error bars representing the standard deviation of these data. Statistical significance was assessed by Kruskal-Wallis tests followed by Dunn’s multiple comparisons. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
