Systems and methods for growing photosynthetic organisms

摘要

Methods and apparatus for promoting the growth of an aquatic photosynthetic organism within a growth medium in a photobioreactor may use a luminescent material targeting the aquatic photosynthetic organism in the photobioreactor. The luminescent material may be a substrate with a matrix of conductors coupled to the substrate, and light emitting diodes ("LEDs") electrically coupled to the matrix of conductors. The aquatic photosynthetic organism in the photobioreactor is exposed to the light emitted by the LEDs.
