In this work, photosynthesis and growth affecting variables-light intensity, pH, CO2/O-2 exchange, nutrient supply, culture turbulence, light/dark cell cycling, biomass density and culture depth (light path)-are reviewed as concerns in microalgae mass cultures. Various photosynthesis monitoring techniques were employed to study photosynthetic performance to optimize the growth of microalgae strains in outdoor cultivation units. The most operative and reliable techniques appeared to be fast-response ones based on chlorophyll fluorescence and oxygen production monitoring, which provide analogous results.
