• A photobioreactor (bioreactor for short) is a closed or semi-closed system in which light and nutrients are supplied to the system in an attempt to maximize algal biomass. There are many types of photobioreators, including tubular, flat panel, airlift or even plastic bags. Light can be provided by direct sunlight, electric light or a combination of both.
