Apparatus and methods for cultivating photosynthetic organisms, such as algae, in a bioreactor may include a bioreactor having a primary tank. Light and carbon dioxide are provided in the tank sufficient to promote algae growth. The algae is agitated inside the tank to increase the amount of algae receiving sufficient light exposure inside the tank. Agitation may be provided by a closed loop circulation system or a mixer having a plurality of rotating blades. The gas source may be positioned and oriented with respect to the light source to keep the light source free of adhered material.
