Embodiment Construction

[0133] refer to figure 1 , shows a representative system 20 for culturing microorganisms. The system 20 is capable of culturing various types of microorganisms, such as algae or microalgae. Microorganisms can be cultivated for a variety of reasons including, for example, edible products, nutritional supplements, aquaculture, animal feed, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fertilizers, fuel products such as biofuels including, for example, biomass crude oil, butanol, Ethanol, aviation fuel, hydrogen, biogas, biodiesel, etc. Examples of microorganisms that can be cultured include: Phaeodactylum tricornutum for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids for health and food supplements; Amphidinolides and Amphidinium for the production of antitumor agents amphidinins; Alexandrium hiranoi for the production of goniodomins for antifungal agents; Oscillapeptin for the production of oscillapeptin which is an elastase inhibitor (Oscillatoria agardhii) and so on. Althoug...

Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for cultivating microorganisms. In one example, a system may include a plurality of containers for cultivating microorganisms therein. Each container may be adapted to contain water and may include media disposed therein and at least partially submerged in the water. The media may be adapted to support microorganisms during cultivation and a concentration of microorganisms supported by the media may be higher than a concentration of microorganisms suspended in the water.
