PROCESS OF CULTURING ALGAE

摘要

Algae and other photosynthesising micro-organisms can be expediently cultured in an open system by inoculating an aqueous medium with one or more species or strains from the said group of micro-organisms, culturing the micro-organisms and recovering the biomass produced. According to the invention, the photosynthesising micro-organisms should be cultured in a series of open reactors of which the first is inoculated with a large quantity of inoculum which has been precultured in a closed photobioreactor.
