A highly instrumented photosynthetic gas exchange system was designed, fabricated and tested for handling the carbon dioxide output and supplying the oxygen requirements of one man. The system designed consists of three major components: (1) a multi-pass light chamber containing thirty-six 96-inch 'Power Groove' fluorescent lamps, (2) a counter-current gas contacting tower, and (3) an instrumentation console for controlling and recording the important parameters. In addition, a centrifuge is provided for the harvesting of algae. Based on the growth rate of the algae, the study demonstrated that this system has the capability of supporting one man.

A continuous culture system was designed to study the use of solar energy for algal growth and photosynthetic gas exchange. Design parameters were calculated to support algal growth and photosynthesis during peak sunlight at a rate sufficient to provide respiratory support for one man. The unique feature of the system was the facility for orienting the panels to face and track the sun. Instrumentation was provided for monitoring the important variables affecting algal growth. Testing with the system spanned a three-year period and two geographical locations. Experimental results provided data on the operating parameters of a large solar-illuminated algal culture system and approximately confirmed the original calculations for algal production rate.

The algae are a diverse group of organisms with forms that range in size from less than a micron in diameter to over ten meters in length. Small {laquo} 1 JLm diam) unicellular forms dominate the open waters of the oceans and large lakes. Large multicellular forms often form a large component of the autotrophic biomass of shallow waters at the periphery of lakes and oceans but have also been found on seamounts in clear open ocean waters at depths up to several hundred meters (Littler and Littler, 1985). Phytoplankton in the sea probably account for more than 50% of global photosynthesis, although there is considerable uncertainty about this estimate. In addition, many symbiotic associations between unicellu lar algae and heterotrophic or autotrophic organisms have been identi fied, and algae can be found in a diverse range of terrestrial environ ments, ranging from polar to desert regions. The most important common biochemical attribute that unites the algae is their ability to split water, producing molecular oxygen during photosynthesis and concomi tantly assimilating carbon dioxide. This attribute is shared with the terres trial plants, cyanobacteria and chloroxybacteria. Although vascular plants are excluded from this review, we employ a broad definition of algae that includes the photosynthetic, oxygenic procaryotes. Measurements of gas exchange are fundamental to most biochemical, physiological and ecological investigations of the algae.
