New Algae Study Shows Importance of IBS Light Availability
Researchers from China and Europe have performed an experiment to analyze the effect of initial biomass specific (IBS) light availability on the production rate of batch microalgal triglycerides from Nannochloropsis sp. cultivated in vertical and horizontal outdoor tubular reactors.
The results showed that increasing IBS light availability resulted in higher production rate of IBS-TAG as well as higher TAG content at the end of the batch.
