The light attenuation factor, defined by the ratio between the incident light and the light at the bottom of the reactor, is a key operating parameter for light-limited phototrophic culture. Here, two nonlinear control laws have been proposed in order to regulate this ratio: a static controller, which is input-to-state stable with respect to...

The most promising and yet challenging application of microalgae and cyanobacteria is the production of renewable energy: biodiesel from microalgae triacylglycerols and bioethanol from cyanobacteria carbohydrates. A thorough understanding of microalgal and cyanobacterial metabolism is necessary to master and optimize biofuel production yields....

The conversion of microalgae lipids and cyanobacteria carbohydrates into biofuels appears to be a promising source of renewable energy. This requires a thorough understanding of their carbon metabolism, supported by mathematical models, in order to optimize biofuel production. However, unlike heterotrophic microorganisms that utilize the same...
