Recently, microalgae have been considered as attractive source for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) because of their rapid growth and high photosynthetic efficiency compared to other biomass. Also, microdroplet system using two immiscible phase on PDMS based microfluidic system has been known as efficient analysis tool for cell kinetics. The microdroplets are regarded as an individual microreactor so it is possible to analyze a number of the single microalgal cells in parallel. By utilizing these two systems, we can analyze the characteristics of microalgae efficiently. In this context, we encapsulated single microalgal cells into the microdroplets and reinjected the microdroplets into incubation chamber which consists of micropillar array. During the incubation of microalgal cell, we used humidifier to maintain the aqueous microdroplet intact. Therefore, we can observe photoautotrophic growth of single microalgal cell in the various conditions related to CO2 concentration and light intensity. |
