Abstrakt: AbstractFresh Spirulinais more favorable than dried one, yet its ease of deterioration necessitates production of biomass that can be immediately consumed. We developed a prototype household photobioreactor and studied the semi-continuous cultivation and harvest conditions within 107 days. Three growth phases were observed featuring different growth rate and recovering time after harvest. Nutrients were consumed at rates of Fe > N > P > Mg > K. The pH mounted rapidly when below 9 and varied slowly between 9 and 10, whose variation positively correlated with that of biomass concentration. Bacterial load was at a constant level of about 2 × 104CFU, indicating good sanitary condition. Harvesting efficiency improved with greater biomass and filtration sack mesh number until reaching 3.5 g·L−1and 200, respectively. We hope this study can help the method development of fresh Spirulinacultivation in miniaturized systems.
