ABSTRACT: Efficient light to biomass conversion in photo- Low production costs of algal feed stocks depend, among bioreactors is crucial for economically feasible microalgae others, on high photobioreactor (PBR) productivities, thus production processes. It has been suggested that photosyn- efficient conversion of light energy into biomass and thesis is enhanced in short light path photobioreactors by mixing-induced flashing light regimes. In this study, pho- product (Norsker et al., 2010). For the optimal design of tosynthetic efficiency and growth of the green microalga microalgae PBRs a high photosynthetic efficiency (biomass Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were measured using LED light yield) is necessary to achieve high areal productivities. to simulate light/dark cycles ranging from 5 to 100 Hz at One of the least understood phenomena is the influence a light-dark ratio of 0.1 and a flash intensity of 2 1
