Photobioreactors allow for exquisite control of your phototrophic bioprocess to optimize photosynthetic efficiency, biomass production, and high value products.
Photobioreactors are specialized bioreactors for culturing phototrophic organisms. Given the correct conditions, almost any algae, cyanobacteria, seaweed, or plant cell can be grown efficiently in a photobioreactor. The ability to control carbon dioxide, temperature, nutrients, mixing, and light intensity in a bioreactor means that the organism in question can achieve much higher biomass than in nature.
Applications for photobioreactors include growing algae and cyanobacteria for biofuels, bioplastics, pharmaceuticals, nutriceuticals, food additives, carbon capture, and waste water remediation.
"Cyanobacteria are the earliest group of photosynthetic gram negative prokaryotes to have evolved. They are capable of producing a vast diversity of secondary metabolites with bioactive properties such as antibiotics, antifungals, and antitumor. Cyanobacteria can be used to efficiently produce biofuels as well as next generation bioplastics and polymers. They are a genetically tractable system and are being used more and more for recombinant protein expression. There is also serious potential to use the nitrogen fixing capabilities of these organisms to produce sustainable biofertilizers. Photobioreactors are the best way to culture and optimize cyanobacteria based processes at the benchtop scale." -- source: sciencedirect.com
Traditional bioreactor designs face challenges in delivering process efficiencies. Challenges using a photobioreactor include:
Solaris has uniquely addressed these challenges at a benchtop / lab scale.
The ELARA ST (stirred) photobioreactor is ideal for phototrophic organisms as moss, microalgae, bacteria and plant cells under optimum conditions. The spectrum is selectable and the light intensity is dimmable from 0-100% up to 3000 μmol(photon)/m2 Turbidostat mode via turbidity sensor.
