Outdoor scale-up of Leptolyngbya sp.: Effect of light intensity and inoculum volume on photoinhibition and -oxidation by Schipper, Kira

“…Indoor, the strain was capable of growing at light intensities of up to 5600 µmol photons/m2/s, at inoculation densities as low as 0.1 g/L (10% inoculation volume vol/vol). Levels of chlorophyll and phycocyanin showed a significant decrease within the first 24 h, indicating some level of photooxidation, however, both were able to recover within 72 h. …”
