Abstrakt: Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms functioning as the green bio-factories for various pharmaceutical and biofuel products. To date, numerous attempts have been carried out to manipulate culture conditions to maximize the production of the desired metabolites. Because light is the energy source of microalgae for their growth and metabolites biosynthesis, it has been one of the most investigated variables emphasized on the deep understanding of how microalgae respond towards light changes as an external stimulus. This review discusses the effects of different light sources, light intensities, light wavelengths and length of photoperiod on various microalgae species, especially in terms of biomass and lipid productivity. Additionally, the relationship between photoregulation processes and lipid productivity of microalgae are also deliberated. The current available approaches of microalgae mass cultivation, including different types of open and closed systems are recapitulated with the intention to highlight the significant insights for the design of future photoreactors.
