al Abstract.The extremophile red alga Galdieria sulphuraria was successfully grown immobilized in a twin-layer porous substrate bioreactor (TL-PSBR). A maximal biomass growth rate of 10 g dry weight m-2 day-1 was measured at a photon fluence rate of 200 μmol photons m-2 s-1 with addition of 1% CO2 and a temperature of 34 °C. Under these c…[Read more]
