Growth characteristics of Chlorella sorokiniana in airlift and bubble column photobioreactors

► Determination of suitable CO2 concentration for the cell growth of C. sorokiniana. ► Modifying std. TAP [-acetate] medium to control pH drop at higher CO2 concentration. ► Modeling and simulation of the growth profile using logistic equation. ► Comparison of growth profile in airlift and bubble column photobioreactor. ► Comparison of mixing time and KLa in airlift and bubble column photobioreactor.
