The growth conditions of two microalgae, Spirulina platensis and Nannochloropsis oculata, were tested under various light sources including white cold DDH GaAlAs LED, traditional fluorescent lamps and natural light cultures, with no difference found in the growth of biomass, indicating that white cold DDH GaAlAs LED could replace traditional fluorescent lamps, thus providing for large saving on electricity costs and preservation of cultural space. To date, the use of white cold DDH GaAlAs LEDs…

Photoacclimation of Chlorella vulgaris to Red Light from Light‐Emitting Diodes Leads to Autospore Release Following Each Cellular Division

Although the solid state LED light source altered the cell cycle behavior of C. vulgaris, it can be used as an effective light source for autotrophic growth and promises to advance the current state of algal photobioreactors due to their efficiency, smallness, reliability, long lifetime, and desirable light characteristics.

High‐density algal photobioreactors using light‐emitting diodes

A prototype PBR has been designed based on theoretical values of gas mass transfer requirements and light‐intensity requirement to support high‐density algal cultures for the 680 nm monochromatic red light from LED as a light source.

Application of light‐emitting diodes in bioreactors: Flashing light effects and energy economy in algal culture (Chlorella pyrenoidosa)

Use of flashing LEDs in indoor algal culture yielded a major gain in energy economy in comparison to luminescent light sources and showed reduction of the quantum requirement for oxygen evolution at defined frequencies.

Light‐emitting diodes for the illumination of algae in ecotoxicity testing

It could be shown that small‐scale construction of incubators using LEDs is possible and could be advantageous, especially for the illumination of algae in 96‐well microplate growth inhibition assays, and this was approached by demonstrating that growth of algae was similar with both illuminating devices.
