Abstract

In this study, we carried out the development of high performance photobioreactor, which can be used to develop the biological $CO_2$ fixation technology as well as the renewable biofuels, the microalgae Botryococcus braunii. When B. Braunii was cultured in Anti-biofouling photobioreator, growth rate of it showed about 3 times higher than that of bubble column photobioreactor at the same conditions. In case of photobioreactor without bead, after 3 days culture time, biofouling occur rapidly in wall of the photobioreactor. However, with bead 5% (V/V), biofouling do not occur all experimental days.
