Maximal productivity of a 14 mm light-path panel photobioreactor under high irradiance was determined. Under continuous illumination of 2,100 µmol photons m-2 s-1 with red light emitting diodes...
Design process of an area-efficient photobioreactor (2008)
Zijffers, J.F., Janssen, M.G.J., Tramper, J., Wijffels, R.H.
This article describes the design process of the Green Solar Collector (GSC), an area-efficient photobioreactor for the outdoor cultivation of microalgae. The overall goal has been to design a system...
Lamers, P.P., Janssen, M.G.J., Bino, R.J., Wijffels, R.H.
The unicellular alga Dunaliella salina is the most interesting cell factory for the commercial production of ß-carotene because this species accumulates carotenoids to high concentrations....
Zijffers, J.F., Janssen, M.G.J., Tramper, J., Wijffels, R.H., Salim, S.
The Green Solar Collector (GSC), a photobioreactor designed for area efficient outdoor cultivation of microalgae uses Fresnel lenses and light guides to focus, transport and distribute direct light...
Biocalorimetric monitoring of photoautotrophic batch cultures (2007)
Janssen, M.G.J., Wijffels, R.H.
Cultivations of photoautotrophic microorganisms show a rather distinct behavior from the cultivations of microorganisms on chemical energy. This is caused by the fact that light energy is the...
Calorimetry and other on-line techniques are used for the first time as complement to the traditional off-line methods in order to follow the growth of the green Chlorella vulgaris microalgae. A 2-L...
Hoekema, S., Douma, R.D., Janssen, M.G.J., Tramper, J., Wijffels, R.H.
The main bottleneck in scale-up of phototrophic fermentation is the low efficiency of light energy conversion to the desired product, which is caused by an excessive dissipation of light energy to...
Janssen, M.G.J., Tramper, J., Mur, L.R., Wijffels, R.H.
Enclosed outdoor photobioreactors need to be developed and designed for large-scale production of phototrophic microorganisms. Both light regime and photosynthetic efficiency were analyzed in...
Barbosa, M.J., Janssen, M.G.J., Ham, N., Tramper, J., Wijffels, R.H.
The slow development of microalgal biotechnology stems from the failure in the design of large-scale photobioreactors where light energy is efficiently utilized. Due to the light gradient inside the...
