AN APPARATUS FOR CULTURING PHOTOSYNTHETIC ORGANISMS

摘要

The present disclosure provides an apparatus for culturing photosynthetic organisms. The apparatus comprising body of liquid of predetermined shape for holding ingredients required for culturing the photosynthetic organisms. The apparatus further comprises a mixing device for mixing ingredients in a body of liquid. The mixing device comprises at least one mixing plate of predetermined shape comprising a plurality of perforations. The mixing plate is adapted to be movably disposed within the body of liquid. Further, at least one drive mechanism coupled to the at least one mixing plate. The drive mechanism is configured to move the at least mixing plate in the body of liquid to accomplish turbulence in the body of liquid for maintaining the photosynthetic organisms in a suspended state to facilitate uniform exposure of photosynthetic organisms to light.
