BIOREACTOR APPARATUS, BIOREACTOR SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR GROWING LIGHT ENERGY DEPENDANT BIOLOGICAL SPECIES

摘要

The invention relates to a bioreactor apparatus(1) for growing of biological species(2), comprising at least one basin device(3) defining a first habitat(4a) for a first species(2a), and a first lighting device(5a) having one light emitting solid- state lighting source(6), adapted for the first species(2a) by emitting light(L), wherein the solid-state lighting source(6) illuminates said habitat(4) using light energy emitted from the solid-state lighting source(6), wherein the bioreactor apparatus(1) comprises a second habitat(4b), adapted for a second species(2b). The invention further relates to a bioreactor system(20) comprising two bioreactor apparatus(1a,1b), one adopted as an aquatic ecoregion, one adopted as a terrestrial ecoregion, both combined to form a complex artificial ecoregion and a method for growing light energy dependant biological species(2) in one bioreactor apparatus(1), comprising: illuminating a first species(1) in a first habitat(4a) by a first lighting device(5a), transferring the grown first species(2a) to a successive habitat(4b, 4c, 4d,... ), separated from the previous habitat(4), via a connection system(7), illuminating a successive species(2b,2c,... ) in said successive habitat(4b,4c,4d,... ) by a successive lighting device(5b,5c,... ), and repeating the steps transferring and illuminating until the desired species(2) has grown to an optimum.
