Abstract

Besides suspension cultivation, immobilized cultivation in small-scale angled PSBRs has been developed recently to proliferate the green stage biomass of Haematococcus pluvialis for large-scale PSBRs. In this study, H. pluvialis biofilms were cultured semi-continuously in PSBRs to increase the biomass of the vegetative stage. Renewal of the nutrient medium at a ratio of 30% (equivalent to 1.5 L) per day resulted in an increase in algal biomass of 76 g.m-2 after 20 days of semi-continuous cultivation. The harvesting interval of 10 days apart and the algae biomass collection ratio of 90% achieved the highest efficiency. The total harvested biomass of algae at the vegetative stage was 104 g.m-2 after 20 days of semi-continuous immobilized cultivation.
