Abstract: High-intensity narrow-spectrum (HINS) light can be used to inactivate certain microorganisms and by exploiting visible light of this type it is possible to provide photobioreactors which offer users control of microbial contamination. Disclosed is a photobioreactor comprising a light source emitting light at a wavelength and/or intensity suitable to inactivate one or more microorganisms.

Abstract: A photobioreactor is presented comprising a chamber for retaining aqueous media and a tubular circulation element positioned within the chamber, the circulation element defining a fluid circulation pathway within the chamber, wherein the tubular circulation element comprises a wall element which in turn comprises either or both a light source and/or a light guide for illuminating the chamber. The provision of a light source and/or light guide within a circulation element of a photobioreactor allows a larger volume of algae to be grown more cost effectively than photobioreactors in the art. In addition, a method of assembly of a circulation element for use within a photobioreactor is provided.
