Comparative energy life-cycle analyses of microalgal biomass production in open ponds and photobioreactors. (2010, positive): “Different cultivation systems for microalgal biomass production have been tested and used in laboratories and in industrial scale (Carvalho et al., 2006; Ugwu et al., 2008).”
Overview of the potential of microalgae for CO2 sequestration (2014, background): “Open systems are built in concrete or compacted earth, and are usually lined with white plastic (Borowitzka 1999; Chisti 2007; Ugwu et al. 2008; Brennan and Owende 2010).”
Microalgal hydrogen production research (2016, positive): “formed within the photobioreactor, and (v) more equitable sunlight distribution to the cells [1,105].”
Co-production of lipids, eicosapentaenoic acid, fucoxanthin, and chrysolaminarin by Phaeodactylum tricornutum cultured in a flat-plate photobioreactor under varying nitrogen conditions (2017, background): “E-mail: tzhangcw@jnu.edu.cn a vital role in many functions of biological membranes, and it is a precursor of various lipid regulators in cellular metabolism (Wen and Chen, 2003).”
Micro and macroalgal biomass: a renewable source for bioethanol. (2011, background): “Still there are certain disadvantages too which include gradients of pH, dissolved oxygen and CO2 along the tubes, wall growth, fouling, hydrodynamic stress, and high expense to scale up (Lee, 2001; Ugwu et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2009; Borowitzka, 2008).”
Energy balance and environmental impact analysis of marine microalgal biomass production for biodiesel generation in a photobioreactor pilot plant (2012, background): “However, future studies should take into 428 account that biomass productivities in outdoor photobioreactors naturally illuminated 429 would depend on the prevailing weather conditions in a particular locality [31].”
Potential of the micro and macro algae for biofuel production: a brief review. (2013, background): “…production,” BioResources 9(1), Pg # to be added 14 The major advantage of the open ponds is that they are very easy to construct and operate; in comparison to most closed systems, they are easy to clean up after cultivation and are ideal for mass cultivation of microalgae (Ugwu et al. 2008).”
A review on microalgae, a versatile source for sustainable energy and materials (2011, background): “It is also demonstrated that [22,33,56,59] variations in the cultivation conditions such as temperature, concentration of salts, nitrogen and CO2, for instance, interfere directly in the biochemical composition of the microalgae.”
