There is provided a process of growing a phototrophic biomass in a reaction zone. The reaction zone includes an operative reaction mixture. The operative reaction mixture includes the phototrophic biomass disposed in an aqueous medium. Gaseous exhaust material is produced with a gaseous exhaust material producing process, wherein the gaseous exhaust material includes carbon dioxide. Reaction zone feed material is supplied to the reaction zone such that any carbon dioxide of the reaction zone feed material is received by the phototrophic biomass so as to provide a carbon dioxide-enriched phototrophic biomass in the aqueous medium. The carbon dioxide-enriched phototrophic biomass disposed in the aqueous medium is exposed to photosynthetically active light radiation so as to effect photosynthesis. A discharge of the gaseous exhaust material from the gaseous exhaust material producing process is modulated based on sensing of at least one reaction zone parameter. The modulating of the discharge of the gaseous exhaust material includes modulating of a supply of the discharged gaseous exhaust material to the reaction zone feed material, wherein the discharged gaseous exhaust material which is supplied to the reaction zone feed material defines a gaseous exhaust material reaction zone supply, wherein the gaseous exhaust material reaction zone supply includes carbon dioxide.
