    摘要: Autotrophic algal growth in high incident light situations may be conducted in a reactor with circulation of algal reaction medium between light and dark zones with very short residence time in the light zone to maintain algal growth in the reactor in a linear growth regime in which the rate of algal biomass production is proportional to the incident photosynthetic photon flux density. Process monitoring and control may permit quick processing in a single step even in open pond systems. Dissolved nitrogen levels in product may be monitored and nitrogen nutrient input may be restricted to reduce dissolved nitrogen in effluent and to increase lipid yield without a separate nitrogen starvation step.

    摘要: The incubator has a climate-controlled chamber with a plurality of containers located therein. Each container can receive a sample plate and is adapted with light sources for exposing the samples to light. The incubator further comprises a handling device for transferring sample plates between the containers and a transfer location positioned outside an automatic door. A cooling unit is provided for carrying off excess heat from the light sources.
