Biofixation of CO۲ with cyanobacterium Spirulina sp. in phototrophic condition

This study examines quantitatively the effect of the rate of mixing on biomass productivity of Spirulina atdifferent type of mixing with air and carbon dioxide. The rate of mixing required careful optimization: whentoo low, maximal productivity could not be obtained, and high rate of mixing resulted in cell damage andreduced output. Spirulina was batch cultivated in two systems and cultures were illuminated with coldfluorescent lamps and air was provided from the bottom by applying a pump. The total mass of carbon fed intothe systems was compared to biomass production.
