Indoor photobioreactors (PBRs) with artificial illumination make it possible to grow microalgae strains under well-controlled physico-chemical conditions aimed to directed production of desirable compounds. By far, light is one of the most important factors for growth and it significantly influences the yield and composition of microalgae biomass.PBRs with interior illumination make it possible to use light (and energy) efficiently as the light sources are placed inside the microalgae culture. In our laboratory, various types of PBRs with artificial illumination – tubular, panel as well as column – have been constructed and used. Recently, 10- and 100-L pilot PBRs with internal lighting have been tested for microalgae growth. Tubular light sources based on white, high-intensity light-emitting diodes were submerged in microalgae culture. This set-up of PBRs makes it possible to adjust a wide range of culture conditions – temperature, light intensity, mixing and nutrient supply – required by individual strains.
