In theory, it should also work with a filter. Dinos are eukaryotes, meaning they're up to 10 times bigger than bacteria.
Cyanobacteria are big bacteria though.
from 0.5 to 60 micrometres
Dinos (here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctiluca )
"200 to 2,000 µm in diameter"
So if you choose a 100um membrane, that should allow the bacteria to pass through but leave the dinos behind. Some bacteria may still stick to the dinos in the sieve.

Hi,Was wondering if anyone had tried to use antibiotics to make bacteria free, axenic algal cultures? If found this paper on it, and the main problem looks like the need for a mixed antibiotic mixture to effectively remove the bacteria.-Conner
