When the temperature between 4°C to 11°C photosynthesis is substantially inhibited
After 11°C the relationship between temperature and growth of microalgae is linear

dioxide and water to organic compound (typically glucose), while releases oxygen
gas

6. Photons at longer wavelengths do
not carry enough energy to allow
photosynthesis to take place.
Photons at shorter wavelengths
tend to be so energetic that they can
be damaging to cells and tissues
PAR is the amount of light available for photosynthesis, which is light in the 400 to 700
nanometer wavelength range

7. Light Compensation Point
∎It is well known that in green plants
respiration occurs continuously for 24 hours
while photosynthesis occurs only during the
day when light is available
∎Photosynthesis is a faster process than
respiration
∎Rate of photosynthesis is higher at about
noon when light intensity is higher and is
slower during morning or evening when light
intensity is low
when the rate of photosynthesis will be as
low as to equal the rate of respiration.

8. According to the discussion above …
• while the growth rate of microalgae decreasing because the respiration
processes of microalgae will produce more carbon dioxide.
• In microalgae growth, long dark reaction period will lead biomass loss
• light energy cannot be stored by microalgae so the light should be supplied
sustainably
• The microalgae cannot use all the supplied light
Because
microalgae cannot absorb all the photons, and too much light will cause light
inhibition for the surface layer of microalgae
• Monochromatic & Polychromatic

Saturated light intensity decreases and the growth rate increases with
the increasing of spectrum absorption coefficient

Microalgae Growth Factor

Character of Light:
Temperature:
With the light intensity changing, temperature is an environmental factor which indirectly affects growth of microalgae
Optimum Temp 20-30
pH and salinity:
The pH value will also affect the growth rate of microalgae, it will be easier for microalgae to capture CO2 in the atmosphere when the growing condition is alkaline, which can produce more biomass With the increase of pH, CO2 into water transferred into HCO3- which is the mainly existing formation of carbon in weak alkaline. And this also can be usedby microalgae majorly. But according to Liu’s study, the content of chlorophyll ofmicroalgae will decrease when the pH value goes from 8.5 to 9.5 (Liu et al., 2005).Microalgae has its own system to adjust salinity range. Generally, seawatermicroalgae can tolerate higher salinity rather than fresh water microalgae (Zhu et al., 2003).Studies showed that microalgae has its own optimal growth salinity, when salinity higher orlower than this will be harmful to algal growing rate. For example, when in the low salinitygrowing condition, it will be helpful for algal growth with the addition of NaCl and NaSO4but when the salinity higher than 6g/L, the growth rate of microalgae will be prohibited (Liuet al., 2006)
Mixing:
Shading is a problem in growth of microalgae, it will prohibit microalgae to absorblight effectively, and it will affect biomass production. In general, microalgae grow well inlake or stream because of the dynamics of water (Wang, 2006). When design the PBRs formicroalgae, dynamic is also important. Gas mixing can be treat as water dynamic for growthof microalgae. Gas mixing in the PBRs can promote every microalgae cell to obtain equallight source and nutrient
visible light is the main source of energy since the chlorophylls, phycobilins and carotenoids in microalgae can be absorbed inthe visible light range
There are two phases of photosynthetic,
the first stage is photoreaction. During thisstage, the chlorophyll in green plants can produce electronic in order to convert the lightenergy of sunlight into electrical energy. The electrons will be transported though thylakoidmembrane, while transfer the proton from chloroplast stroma to thylakoid lumen, to buildelectrochemical proton gradient for ATP synthesis. The last step of photoreaction is electronsaccepted by NADP+, it will be reduced to NADPH. In photoreaction, water can bedecomposed into oxygen and hydrogen, oxygen is released out of absorbed by thechlorophyll molecules is also further converted to chemical energy, and these chemicalenergy can be stored in the adenosine triphosphate. The chemical equation of photoreactioncan be summarized as below: The second stage of photosynthetic is dark reaction, it is a cycle that continuousconsumption of ATP and NADPH and CO2 fixation reaction while produce glucose, alsoknown as the “Calvin cycle”. Because of Calvin observed the process how CO2 convertedinto organic using “C” labeled CO2. In the dark reaction phase, hydrogen reduction cannotdirectly reduce the carbon dioxide which is absorbed through the stoma by the green plantsfrom the air. It must first combine with the C5 (a five-carbon compound, ribulosediphosphate) in the plant, this process is called the fixation of carbon dioxide. After a carbondioxide molecule is fixed by a C5 molecule, two C3 (a three-carbon compound, 12glyceraldehyde 3 - phosphate) molecule will be formed. With enzyme catalysis, C3 moleculewill receive energy which is released by ATP hydrogen reduction. Subsequently, a number ofreduced C3 will form carbohydrate; the rest C3 will change back to C5 again, so that the darkreaction stage preceded continuously, named carbon-fixation reaction. Carbon fixationreaction began in the chloroplast stoma, finished in the cytoplasmic matrix. In this dark stage,the reactions ATP and NADPH which are produced in photoreaction as energy, and also fixCO2 to transform them into glucose , the process does not require light that the reason why itis called dark reaction. The chemical equation of dark reaction can be summarized as below:CO2 + C5→ 2C3C3+ [H] →( CH2O) + C5The dark reaction time will be influenced with shortage of light, because of the lack of ATP which generated in photoreaction. But not the carbon procedure will not stopimmediately when the light disappear because the residual ATP part will continue to providethe conditions for the carbon reaction. Carbon reaction will stop if the situation of lightshortage period is a long time (Carvalho et al., 2011).
تابش فعال فتوسنتزی، اغلب به اختصار PAR، محدوده طیفی (موج موج) تابش خورشید را از 400 تا 700 نانومتر تعیین می کند که موجودات فتوسنتز قادر به استفاده در فرآیند فتوسنتز هستند. این منطقه طیفی بیشتر یا کمتر با محدوده نور قابل مشاهده برای چشم انسان مطابقت دارد. فوتون ها در طول موج های کوتاه تر تمایل دارند که بسیار پر انرژی باشند که بتوانند به سلول ها و بافت ها آسیب برسانند، اما بیشتر آنها توسط لایه اوزون در استراتوسفر فیلتر می شوند. فوتون ها در طول موج های دیگر انرژی کافی برای انتقال فتوسنتز ندارند.
Why is Photosynthetically Active Radiation Important?
Photosynthetically Active Radiation is needed for photosynthesis and plant growth. Higher PAR promotes plant growth, and monitoring monitoring PAR is important to ensure plants are receiving adequate light for this process.
PAR values range from 0 to 3,000 millimoles per square meter. At night, PAR is zero. During mid-day in the summer, PAR often reaches 2,000 to 3,000 millimoles per square meter.
latitude PAR available to plants include anything that reduces sunlight, such as cloud cover, shading by trees, and buildings. Air pollution also affects PAR by filtering out the amount of sunlight that can reach plants.
Light saturation is defined by a saturation constant of light (Figure 2.2), which is theintensity of light where the specific biomass growth rate is 50% of its pick value, μmax.Light saturation constants for growth rate of microalgae tend to be less than the maximumsunlight intensity level which happens in the middle of the day When the light intensity above a certain value, continue increasing in light intensitylevel will decrease the microalgae growth rate actually (Figure 2.2.). This is calledphotoinhibition phenomenon. Microalgae become photoinhibited when light intensities alittle bit higher than the light intensity at the specific growth rate peaks. Because of excessivelight source, photoinhibition phenomenon will cause generally reversible damage to thephotosynthetic process (Rubio et al., 2003). Avoiding photoinhibition can help to increasethe daily growth rate of microalgae biomass. (Chisti, 2007)
