<p>A photobioreactor is presented comprising a chamber for retaining aqueous media and a tubular circulation element positioned within the chamber, the circulation element defining a fluid circulation pathway within the chamber, wherein the tubular circulation element comprises a wall element which in turn comprises either or both a light source and/or a light guide for illuminating the chamber. The provision of a light source and/or light guide within a circulation element of a photobioreactor allows a larger volume of algae to be grown more cost effectively than photobioreactors in the art. In addition, a method of assembly of a circulation element for use within a photobioreactor is provided.</p> |
