Comparison of photobioreactors for cultivation of Undaria pinnatifida gametophytes
Undaria pinnatifida gametophytes were grown in 2.5 l bubble column and airlift reactor at 25 degreesC and light intensity of 40 mumol m(-2) s(-1) for 6 days. With aeration at 1 l min(-1), the airlift reactor yielded higher growth rate (0.12 mg DW ml(-1) d(-1)) than a bubble column (0.08 mg DW ml(-1) d(-1)). The advantages were related to the more homogeneous fluid dynamic characteristics of the airlift reactor.
