• Variables Governing Photosynthesis and Growth in Microalgae Mass Cultures (2021, background): “Table 1 shows the advantages and disadvantages of open and closed systems, which have been extensively discussed in recent reviews [13,134,135].”
• Techno-economic analysis of microalgal biomass production in a 1-ha Green Wall Panel (GWP®) plant (2016, background): “Despite the many advantages of microalgal technologies, the world annual production of microalgal biomass is less than 20,000 tonnes, mainly obtained in raceway ponds due to the lower investment necessary to build and operate open systems compared to closed reactors [1,2].”
• Microalgae biomass as an alternative ingredient in cookies: Sensory, physical and chemical properties, antioxidant activity and in vitro digestibility (2017, methodology): “tricornutum F &M-M40 were cultivated in GWP®-I [28] or GWP®-II photobioreactors [29–30] in semi-batch mode, then the biomasses were harvested by centrifugation, frozen, lyophilized, powdered and stored at −20 °C until analysis.”
• A financial assessment of two alternative cultivation systems and their contributions to algae biofuel economic viability (2014, background): “, open raceway ponds (ORPs) and closed photobioreactors (PBRs) [5].”
• Photosynthesis monitoring to optimize growth of microalgal mass cultures: application of chlorophyll fluorescence techniques (2014, methodology): “…to mass production are used: one applies to cultivation in open reservoirs (with direct contact between the microalgal culture and the environment), while the other involves closed or semi-closed vessels called photobioreactors (for a recent review, see Grobbelaar 2009, Zittelli et al. 2013).”
