Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012152637A1] The present invention relates to a photobioreactor intended for culture, especially continuous culture, of photosynthetic microorganisms, preferably microalgae, comprising at least one culture chamber (1) intended to contain the culture medium (3) of the microorganisms, and at least one light source (2) located outside of the culture chamber (1), characterized in that it furthermore comprises at least one cylindrical or prismatic light-scattering element (4) placed in the culture chamber (1), the light-scattering element (4) being optically coupled to the light source (2) so as to capture photons emitted by the light source (2) and deliver them to the culture medium (3) via its lateral surface. The present invention also relates to the use of a photobioreactor to cultivate photosynthetic microorganisms and the use of a light-scattering element (4) to illuminate the culture medium of a photobioreactor.
