The ‘attached cultivation’ technique for microalgae production, combining the immobilized biofilm technology with proper light dilution strategies, has shown improved biomass production and photosynthetic efficiency over conventional open-pond suspended cultures. However, how light is transferred and distributed inside the biofilm has not been clearly defined yet.
Attached biofilm cultivation has been the hotspot of microalgae cultivation technology, which has demonstrated very high biomass productivity. However, it is still unknown why the culture of microalgae has high photosynthesis efficiency.
