Culturing DT's works fine (I have done it), but you don't end up with anything like DT's. It will be a mono-culture of nannochloropsis and will have a much lower cell density than DT's with, in all likelihood a higher dissolved nutrient content (as would any home grown phyto). Still, it's an inexpensive and easy way to get nanno. starting cultures.
