HardwareⅡ

A microbial photoreactor is a device designed to meet the needs of microbial cultivation. As important photosynthetic organisms, microorganisms can fix CO ₂ and produce various biomass through photosynthesis.

However, the existing microbial culture vessels cannot efficiently control the light intensity and time, and cannot monitor the growth of microorganisms in real time.

To solve these problems, we designed, fabricated, and tested a microbial photoreactor with automatic control of lighting intensity and period. The reactor can also regularly collect samples to detect changes in the number of microorganisms and accurately adjust the wet temperature, light, air and other characteristics in the incubator through the hardware automated detection and regulation feedback , to create the most suitable culture environment.

The microbial photoreactor has the following characteristics:automated detection and regulation, good mass transfer, and high production of biologically active substances . This technology provides an efficient and controllable solution for microbial cultivation, reduces labor input, improves operational accuracy and stability, further improves microbial growth rate, photosynthetic efficiency and product quality, and provides strong support for the sustainable development of the microbial industry.

• Conical Bottom: The conical bottom is more suitable for the cultivation of microbial spheres, which can be collected thoroughly by the potential energy of the conical bottom and without energy consumption.
• Automated detection and adjustment: the reactor is equipped with carbon dioxide sensor, professional grade pH meter, low pressure DC heating bar, threaded temperature sensor, etc., and through the automated detection and adjustment feedback, it can realise the precise adjustment of wet temperature, light gas and other parameters in the incubator, so as to make the microorganisms be in the most suitable cultivation environment.
• Good mass transfer effect: the aeration port is set directly below the stirrer, under the action of the stirrer, the incoming gas forms fine bubbles, increasing the gas-liquid contact area, and the bubbles can help the liquid phase mixing. Aeration device and stirring device work together to effectively promote microbiological liquid mixing, and has a good mass transfer effect.
• High bioactive substance production: Microorganisms have a high potential for bioactive substance production. By adjusting light intensity, temperature, medium composition and culture condition control and process optimisation, high density culture of microorganisms and high yield of useful compounds such as biomass, oils, proteins, polysaccharides, etc. can be achieved.

The designed, fabricated and tested microbial photoreactor was interfaced with a number of microbiology related companies to get their experience and feedback on the use of the device. Through their positive responses and feedbacks, it can be concluded that the reactor has relatively more efficient, lower loss and higher efficiency than the traditional reactors. Based on the feedback from the companies related to microorganisms , our microbial photoreactor has the following advantages over traditional reactors:

Efficient control of light intensity and time: the reactor has the function of automatically controlling the lighting intensity and period, which can precisely adjust the lighting conditions according to the needs of microorganisms. This allows the microorganisms to photosynthesize under optimal light conditions, thus increasing photosynthetic efficiency and growth rate.

Real-time monitoring of microbial growth: With a hardware-automated detection system, the reactor can periodically collect samples and detect changes in microbial populations. This helps to keep track of the growth status of the microorganisms so that the culture environment can be adjusted to ensure stable growth and avoid overgrowth or decline.

detection and regulation : The reactor is equipped with automated detection and regulation technology, which can accurately quantify the growth status of microorganisms and adjust the wet temperature, light gas and other parameters in the incubator according to the feedback information in a timely manner. This reduces the need for manual intervention and improves the accuracy and stability of the operation.

Good mass transfer: The reactor design optimizes mass transfer, allowing nutrients and gases to be fully distributed around the microbial cells, providing better nutrient supply and CO2 supply. This helps to promote photosynthesis and growth of microorganisms.

High yield of bioactives: The optimized design and precise regulation of the reactor promotes the production of bioactives such as lipids, proteins, etc. in microorganisms. This provides the microbiology industry with higher yields and higher quality bioactives to meet market demands.

In summary, our microbial photoreactor has the advantages of automated detection and regulation, efficient control of light, real-time monitoring of microbial growth, good mass transfer, and high bioactive substance yield relative to traditional reactors. These features make it an ideal choice for microbial cultivation and provide strong support for the sustainable development of the microbial industry.
