Microalgae are thecarbon source found in crude oil and natural gas. Over the years, therehave been several advances in the design and operation of closed photobioreactorsfor microalgal cultures based on new reactor geometries as well as optimized aerationand mixing strategies. Closed photobioreactors ensure heatcontrol, and high production through effective use of high-intensity light and prevent contamination in microalgaeproduction. One of the most important factors thatcontrol cell growth in a photobioreactor is light availability. In this study,cultivation of Chlorella sp., asmicroalgae were performed in a speciallydesigned photobioreactor for productivity analysis and the pigment capacityanalysis. The applied light energy was kept constant while applying eithercontinuous or intermittent lighting during the growth of microalgae. Thecultivation parameters were tested to find the optimal light mode as the continuouslight or 12h light/ 12h dark cycle to maximize pigment amount. In order todetermine the pigment amount in the cultivated algae extraction was done. Thenby using UV spectrophotometer amount of chlorophyll a and b were determined inthe obtained extracts.
