METHOD OF MIXOTROPHIC CULTURING OF MICROALGAE IN A FLEXIBLE BIOREACTOR

摘要

Some embodiments include a method of culturing one or more microalgae. The method can include: inoculating a bioreactor with the one or more microalgae and a fluidic support medium, the bioreactor having one or more bioreactor walls at least partially enclosing a bioreactor cavity, being configured to be at least one of folded up or rolled up, and being sterile when the bioreactor is inoculated with the one or more microalgae, the one or more bioreactor walls comprising at least one bioreactor wall material, and the at least one bioreactor wall material being flexible and at least partially transparent; and vitally supporting the one or more microalgae. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also disclosed.

1. A method of culturing one or more microalgae, the method comprising:
inoculating a bioreactor with the one or more microalgae and a fluidic support medium, the bioreactor comprising one or more bioreactor walls at least partially enclosing a bioreactor cavity, being configured to be at least one of folded up or rolled up, and being sterile when the bioreactor is inoculated with the one or more microalgae, the one or more bioreactor walls comprising at least one bioreactor wall material, the at least one bioreactor wall material being flexible and at least partially transparent; and vitally supporting the one or more microalgae; wherein:
vitally supporting the one or more microalgae comprises:
supplying the one or more microalgae with an organic carbon material;supplying the one or more microalgae with a quantity of light based on the culture density; andsupplying one or more nutritional media to the one or more microalgae when a culture density of the one or more microalgae reaches a threshold culture density.
