✦ Synopsis

A red microalgal, Rhodosorus marinus, was used to produce phycoerythrin. This autoflocculent species, grown in a vertical tubular photoreactor equipped with a gaz-lift system, achieved a growth rate of 0.029 h-1 with a maximum biomass yield of 2 g.l-1 dry weight. These values were close to those obtained in batch cultures of other red microalgae cultured as free cell suspensions. Resuits have shown that these algae could be grown efficiently in natural seawater enriched with nutrients and harvested by decantation followed by filtratic7.

A macromodel is developed for estimating the year-long biomass productivity of outdoor cultures of microalga in tubular photobioreactors. The model evaluates the solar irradiance on the culture surface as a function of day of the year and the geographic location. In a second step, the geometry of th
