... It we" also pointed out that concentrated solar photons have potential in the development of advanced photobioreactor" that take advantage of flashing light or other consideration" to increase product yield. The overall conclusion of the session was that this in a relatively unexplored area that would benefit from an infusion of research funds for development.

... Under standard laboratory cultivation conditions, little beta-carotene i" synthesized and the algae appear green in color. However, when the light intensity i" increased much beyond the intensity required for normal growth, and when the rate of growth is limited, beta-carotene is accumulated to the highest levels.

... We thus have in the L~iella cultivation system the aquaculturist's and ecologist'" ideal facility: a production unit which removes CO2 from the air; produces oxygen, useful chemical products, and feed; and leaves no polluting residue requiring disposal.

... Brown Biotechnology Research Branch Solar Energy Research Institute Golden, Colorado The approach of using multiple-sun light intensity to increase the yield of various products from autotrophically grown algae is relatively unexplored. There are some possibilities for advanced photobioreactor design that might result in increased culture density and hence lower culture volume.
