title: Kinetics and bioenergetics of light-limited photoautotrophic growth of Spirulina platensis.
abstract: Blue-green algae, Spirulina platensis, is cultivated under photoautotrophic growth conditions designed to have nearly uniform growth rate throughout the fermentor by illumination both sides of a rectangular vessel. The results show that growth rate and bioenergetic yield are a function of light intensity. Several kinetic models are considered to express the relationship between growth rate and light intensity.
