| 摘要 |
This application relates to a device for culturing photosynthetic microbes, comprising one or more open ponds, with a culture depth of at most 20 centimeters; one or more photobioreactors, with a culture depth of at most 40 centimeters, which together are capable of culturing an inoculum of the microbes of at least 5% of the carrying capacity of the pond(s); a culture medium in each photobioreactor and in each pond; photobioreactor turbulent flow means for creating turbulent flow throughout the culture medium in the photobioreactors, wherein the turbulent flow is sufficiently low to prevent mechanical shear from damaging cells; pond turbulent flow means for creating turbulent flow throughout the culture medium in the ponds, wherein the turbulent flow is sufficiently low to prevent mechanical shear from damaging cells; and a pond carbon dioxide supply for supplying carbon dioxide to the ponds to replace carbon dioxide removed by the microbes. |
