Abstract

A photobioreactor is provided for culturing phototrophic microorganisms comprising a plurality of reaction chambers composed of a translucent, pliable, water-impermeable material, each of the reaction chambers being an elongate sleeve capable of holding a culture medium, and a modular support structure comprising a framework defining first and second sides and a first and second end, and configured to support a plurality of horizontally oriented, vertically spaced shelves, each of the shelves extending from the first to the second side of the framework and having disposed thereon one of the plurality of reaction chambers. The design of the photobioreactor is modular, which can be expanded as needed, while maintaining the ratio of a high density of reaction chambers- to-small external footprint. The bioreactor can be used to grow single-celled micro¬ organisms and other small multi-cellular organisms.
