Effect of Irradiated Light Color on Growth of Blue-Green Algae, Spirulina platensis, on Inorganic Electro-Luminescence Sheets
Effect of irradiated light color on growth of S. platensis was experimentally investigated using four inorganic electro-luminescence sheets. We found that the light intensity profiles of blue, blue-green and orange inorganic electro-luminescence sheets were uniform on the sheets, and those in the horizontal direction decreased exponentially. The maximum specific growth rate and the saturation constant of S. platensis varied with the color of the irradiated light.
