Lipid accumulation and CO2 utilization of Nannochloropsis oculata in response to CO2 aeration. (2009, background): “Different photobioreactors could also bring different gaseous transfer efficiency, light harvesting efficiency, and mix efficiency ( Carvalho et al., 2006 ).”
Microalgae Cultivation Using Offshore Membrane Enclosures for Growing Algae (OMEGA) (2013, neutral): “Furthermore, this system reduced CO2 losses as compared to “on-off” systems that produce hysteresis and potentially large variations from the desired pH setpoint [22,32].”
Design of photobioreactors for mass cultivation of photosynthetic organisms (2017, background): “Mixing is a crucial feature in the cultivation of microalgae [51]; it can not only reduce the nutrients, pH, and temperature gradient in the culture broth but also prevent cell sedimentation, the emergence of dead zones, cell clumping, and cell attachment to the walls of the PBR [52].”
Heterotrophic cultures of microalgae: metabolism and potential products. (2011, background): “…and (6) Production of pharmaceutical or food ingredients is not feasible or is very limited (Chen, 1996; Tredici, 1999; Molina Grima et al., 1999, 2003; Lee, 2001; Pulz, 2001; Wen and Chen, 2003; Sansawa and Endo, 2004; Carvalho et al., 2006; Chen and Chen, 2006; Chisti, 2007; Patil et al., 2008).”
Biomass and lipid productivities of Chlorella vulgaris under autotrophic, heterotrophic and mixotrophic growth conditions (2009, background): “CO2 and H2O) (Carvalho et al. 2006), which contributes to global CO2 reduction; (2) microalgae can bloom at places where salty water, excessive sun exposure, and lack of vital nutrients inhibit other crops to grow (Chisti 2007, 2008).”
Microalgae: a sustainable feed source for aquaculture (2011, background): “A review on microalgal reactors discusses the main parameters that determine its performance ( Carvalho et al. 2006 ) such as contamination control, gaseous exchanges, mixing patterns, suitability of light supply (which comprises light quality and quantity), geometrical configuration and building ma”
A review on microalgae, a versatile source for sustainable energy and materials (2011, background): “Accordingly, there is no ‘best reactor system’ to achieve maximum productivity with minimum operation costs, irrespective of the available biological and chemical systems [14].”
