A flat-sided photobioreactor for culturing microalgae

A V-shaped flat-sided photobioreactor (working volume: 2 litre) was designed and used to grow the microalga Porphyridium cruentum for biopolymer production. Mixing of culture in the bioreactor was provided by a mixture of air/CO2 supplied through sintered glass in the form of fine bubbles from the base of the bioreactor. The advantages of this flat-sided photobioreactor are the high surface-to-volume ratio, efficient mixing, low shear force, low cost and absence of wall growth.
